If your runs feel harder than they should, it's probably not your training. You're not fueling enough.

In this episode, I break down how runners unintentionally underfuel their workouts, the subtle signs to watch for, and why eating “healthy” isn’t always enough to support performance. I’ll also share how my own first marathon taught me this lesson the hard way and how you can tell if underfueling might be affecting your runs.
