Summary
We ate a pint of snickerdoodle ice cream to prepare for a fun episode on tapering, racing, and fueling! The main topics: wild taper approaches from elite athletes involving very long runs relatively close to race day, why tapers vary and what that might mean for your next race, muscle fiber typology during training and detraining, a deep conversation on nutrition and why our message is to eat food that you love, celebrating food and clapping back on bad food messages in athletics, a grab-bag of 6 racing lessons, and 2 show recommendations. Plus lots of other fun topics! Grab your favorite snack, because the nutrition discussion may make you crave something fun and tasty.

| 0:28.2 | topic it was the fact that I smell like a skunk. Where exactly is your skunk |
| 0:33.0 | smell coming from? My skunk smell is emanating I think from everywhere but |
| 0:36.6 | especially my armpits pregnancy has this interesting side effect at least for |
| 0:40.0 | me. Yeah it makes me very aromatic. I don't know I kind of disagree because I |
| 0:44.2 | think back before pregnancy and at that time used to sweat a lot in training. |
