This week on Fuel for the Sole, it's all about Boston Marathon Weekend. We're breaking down everything we did on the nutrition side to prep for and execute sub-2:55 marathons — from the carb loading strategy in the days leading up to the race, to pre-race fueling on race morning, to exactly what we took in mile by mile on the course.

RNWY Complete Protein is a post-run recovery shake we genuinely stand behind. Here’s why: built on YESTEIN®, a fermented yeast protein that scores a PDCAAS of 1.0, which is the

highest possible protein quality rating. That puts it in the same category as whey but without any

of the dairy. Every serving gives you 25 grams of complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids plus 5 grams of creatine monohydrate and a five-enzyme digestive complex. Get yours at https://rnwy.life/ and use code FEATHERS15 for 15% off your purchase.

This week on Fuel for the Sole, we unpack the David Bars allegations and go off the rails a bit—you know how we do. Then we get into your questions: why does body mass matter for carb loading but not race-day fueling? What's behind those cold sweats? Can you actually overdo it on protein? Why are gels so hard to get down mid-race? And what's really causing those dreaded mid-race pit stops?
