53. What Should I Eat and Drink During Long Runs With Jenn Giles, RD

Jan 21, 2021

Should runners diet to lose weight?  Find out from our sports nutrition expert!

In this episode, 

We have Jenn Giles from Eat 4 Sport on the show to educate us on what food we should be eating and when we should eat those foods to not only lose weight but run at our best as we age.  We also talk about how much we should be drinking, protein intake for aging runners, nutrition during and after menopause, healthy snacking for shift workers and so much more! Jenn is a board certified sports dietitian, speaker, writer, exercise physiologist, triathlon coach & RRCA running coach and a true expert on this topic.

 

Here are some of the questions that were answered during this very informative chat:

  • What type of diet is best for runners?
  • Is intermittent fasting good for runners?
  • How long should I eat before running? 
  • What do I eat before runs?
  • What should I eat and drink during long runs?
  • What are the best snacks to eat after a run to recover?
  • Do older runners need more protein?
  • How much water do I really need to drink?
  • What is the best diet to follow during menopause?
