Electrolytes are absolutely everywhere right now, being marketed as a requirement for good hydration whether you're running 15 miles or just sitting at your desk all day.

But do you actually need electrolytes daily… or is this just smart marketing?

In this episode, I break down what electrolytes really are, when they matter for runners, and when plain water plus regular meals is more than enough. We’ll cover sweat loss, sodium replacement, hyponatremia risk, hot weather training, and why many runners are spending money on products they likely don’t need.

If you've been sipping on electrolytes daily thinking it's a necessity for your health and performance, this episode is for you.

What do I really think about breakfast cereal as a Dietitian? What's the deal with “Simple carbs” vs “quality carbs”? And… do you really need to eat 800g of carbs per day when carb loading?!

In this Q&A episode, I’m answering some of the most common (and confusing) questions runners have about carbohydrates, and sharing my advice on optimizing the type and amount of carbs you're eating every day.

We’re talking about why “fast” carbs aren’t the enemy, how to choose the right type of carbs based on your training, and how to actually hit your carb loading targets without feeling overwhelmed.

If you’ve ever felt confused (or even guilty) about your carb intake, this episode will help you fuel with more confidence and intention.

If you feel like every time you open Instagram or a running Facebook group, you leave more confused about nutrition and training than when you started… this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m talking about why runners need to stop crowdsourcing their nutrition and training advice from social media, strangers on the internet, and every “expert” with a hot take.

We’re getting into why the real thing missing from most runners’ plans isn’t more information, it’s confidence.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of second-guessing everything you’re doing, this one is for you.

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.

• 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.
