| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Running Explain podcast. I'm your host, Elizabeth. I'm a marathoner, coach, and answer seeker. |
| 0:07.3 | When I first started running at the age of 29, I had so many questions and what felt like nowhere to turn to for answers. |
| 0:14.2 | And now I'm here to answer all your running questions about anything that you might want to know. |
| 0:18.6 | If you're a new runner, or you've been doing this for a long time, there's always something more to learn about running. So let's get started. Continuing with what I |
| 0:26.4 | think is at this point a mini series on triathlon, my guest this week at sports dietitian and |
| 0:31.1 | endurance athlete Natalie Robertello. Natalie was a guest on season two talking about mindset when it |
| 0:37.0 | comes to sport nutrition and sport fueling. |
| 0:39.3 | But this week she is back to teach us all about the basics of how to fuel for your triathlon. |
| 0:44.2 | Whether you are curious about triathlon, dabbling in sprints or Olympics, |
| 0:48.0 | or you're an experienced, half-a-full Iron Man finisher, |
| 0:50.9 | there was always more to learn about and dial into your nutritional strategy when it |

| 1:12.3 | much. It's just kind of the specific execution. So I know you're going to learn something I |
| 1:16.6 | absolutely did. And without further ado, here is Natalie. Natalie, welcome back to this show. I'm so |
| 1:23.7 | excited to have you here. Oh, I'm so excited to be back. Thank you for having me. |
| 1:27.8 | So for listeners who are unfamiliar with you and your work and have not yet listened to your |
| 1:32.1 | appearance in season two, go ahead and reintroduce yourself and tell us who you are. Absolutely. So my |
| 1:38.5 | name is Natalie Roberto. I am a sports dietitian and endurance athlete myself. I help |
| 1:43.6 | athletes, endurance athletes, |
| 1:45.4 | runners, triathletes fuel for life and performance and feel good about food. I love it. |
