If you feel exhausted all the time… this episode is for you.

So many runners are walking around feeling constantly drained, struggling through workouts, and wondering why they have no energy.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common (and often overlooked) reasons behind low energy, and what you can start doing today to feel better.

We’ll talk about:

• whether you’re actually eating enough to support your training

• why carbs are essential for both your brain and your runs

• how poor fueling can disrupt your sleep and recovery

• nutrients like iron, B12, folate, and vitamin D

• and the small habits that can make a big difference in your energy levels

No cups at the aid stations on race day?

It might sound like a nightmare to some runners… but in this episode of The Fuel Run Recover podcast I'm sharing my thoughts on why this is ultimately the right move in road racing.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I think events like the Paris Marathon are moving away from disposable cups, why we might see more races following this lead going forward.

If you're a runner who's always relied on the aid stations during races, I'm sharing how you can get prepared for this switch, and why I personally have always raced with my own hydration.

We’ll talk about the pros, the backlash, and the practical side of making this work in your own training and racing.

Trying to lose weight or improve your body composition… but also want to have a social life?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” during the week, only to feel like the weekend completely derails your progress, you’re not alone.

After having this exact conversation with three different clients in the same week, I knew it was something we needed to talk about on the podcast.

In this episode, I break down why social events, restaurant meals, and weekends can feel like such a challenge when you’re trying to lose weight, and how to navigate them without falling into the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps so many runners stuck.

We’ll talk about:

• Why most diets fail when it comes to real-life social situations
• The binge/restrict cycle that often shows up on weekends
• How underfueling long runs can backfire later in the day
• Simple strategies for eating out without undoing your progress
• The role alcohol calories might be playing in your results
• How to build a sustainable approach that includes socializing

Because improving your body composition shouldn’t mean skipping dinners, avoiding parties, or isolating yourself from the people in your life.

With the right approach, you can pursue your goals and still enjoy your weekends.

We hear it all the time in the nutrition world: there are no quick fixes.

And while that’s mostly true… sometimes there actually are a few simple changes that can improve your energy and performance almost immediately.

In this episode of The Fuel Run Recover Podcast, I’m sharing three simple fueling swaps runners can make today that can make a noticeable difference in how your runs feel — sometimes within the very same workout.

These aren’t complicated strategies or strict meal plans. They’re small adjustments to your pre-run, during-run, and post-run fueling that help your body actually get the energy it needs to perform.

Because feeling stronger on your runs isn’t about complicated strategies or hacks, it’s about fueling smarter.

• Why coffee alone isn’t enough fuel before a run (and what to add instead)

• The common mistake runners make with sugar-free sports drinks

• Why carbohydrates matter during longer workouts

• How skipping carbs after a run can hurt your next workout

• A simple tweak to your post-run protein shake that improves recovery

• How small fueling changes can quickly improve energy, endurance, and consistency

If your runs have been feeling sluggish lately, or like you just can’t hit that next gear, one of these simple fueling adjustments might be exactly what you need.

What would make someone run 34 marathons in 34 days?

Or 58 marathons in 49 days?

In this episode of The Fuel Run Recover Podcast, I sit down with Curtis Hargrove, endurance athlete, charity runner, and the man known for running marathons in high heels.

Curtis shares how he evolved from an everyday runner into a purpose-driven athlete, raising money and awareness for causes close to his heart, including:

• 34 marathons in 34 days for the Terry Fox Foundation
• Running across Canada for the Stollery Children’s Hospital
• Walking from Cold Lake to Edmonton in high heels to support women and children impacted by domestic violence
• 58 marathons in 49 days across the U.S.

We talk about what it’s really like to run in heels, how he manages recovery and injury prevention, the ups and downs mentally of taking on these massive challenges, and what’s next in 2026.

This episode is about grit, purpose, and using your miles for something bigger than yourself.

How often should you weigh yourself?

If you’ve ever been told that daily weigh-ins are the key to staying “on track,” this episode might challenge that advice.

Today we’re talking about the scale- when it’s useful, when it’s misleading, and how often you should actually be stepping on it (especially if you’re trying to lose weight or avoid weight gain).
The reality is your body weight fluctuates. A lot. And most of those changes have absolutely nothing to do with fat gain or fat loss.

In this episode, I break down:

• Why daily weigh-ins often don’t work the way they’re marketed
• How focusing on short-term fluctuations can fuel the binge/restrict cycle
• Why real fat loss is slow (and gets slower over time)
• The many reasons your weight can swing day-to-day (hydration, inflammation, glycogen, muscle repair)
• Why the scale doesn’t reflect body composition changes, especially if you’re actively working on building muscle
• When body composition analysis (BIA, DEXA) or measurements may be more useful
• When weighing yourself is actually helpful, like assessing hydration before and after long runs
• The most important question to ask yourself: “What am I doing with this information?”

We also talk about the common trap of weighing yourself after a weekend away, a vacation, or a few dinners out, and why using the scale to judge “how bad it was” often leads to extreme, unhelpful decisions.

The bottom line?

It’s time to rethink your relationship with the scale and start measuring progress in ways that actually support your goals.

Garmin just launched a nutrition tracking feature inside the Garmin Connect app… so obviously, I had to test it.

In this episode of The Fuel Run Recover Podcast, I’m breaking down my real-life experience using Garmin’s new food tracking tool — what works, what doesn’t, and who it might actually be helpful for.

If you’re already using Garmin+ and wondering whether this could replace your current tracking app (or if you’re curious whether it’s worth paying for), this episode is for you.

Fibre might not be the “sexy” side of sports nutrition, but it’s one of the most overlooked foundations of runner health and performance. In this episode, we dig into the viral concept of fibremaxxing and whether it actually makes sense for runners.

You’ll learn what fibremaxxing really means, why most adults fall far short of fibre recommendations, and why decades of research support fibre’s role in gut health, chronic disease prevention, blood sugar control, and appetite regulation.

We also talk through:

• Where the fibremaxxing trend came from and what it gets right

• The best food sources of fibre and why variety matters more than any single “superfood”

• The difference between soluble and insoluble fibre and why runners need both

• Potential downsides of going too hard, too fast with fibre

• Timing fibre intake around training to avoid GI issues

• How very high fibre intakes can impact energy availability and performance

• Fibre supplements vs whole food sources (and when supplements can make sense)

Finally, we answer the big question: Should runners fibremaxx?
The short answer is yes, most runners would benefit from more fibre — but with smart timing, gradual increases, and an eye on total fueling needs.

Bottom line: Fibre is good, most runners need more, and like all good things, more isn’t always better if it interferes with fueling or performance.
