Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Food Medic podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Hazel.

All right, this is the running episode. So many of you have messaged in to ask that we cover running

and I have the perfect guest to help me out with this. Emma Kirk O'Donubi is a very good friend of mine,

but she knows more about running than many coaches I've spoken to due to her unique experience and background.

So Emma is a footwear expert and graduated sports scientist who has been in the running industry for over 15 years.

Day to day, she coaches treadmill classes at third space and on a one-to-one level works with a variety of sportsmen and women seeking to crush the running goals with her and her partner's business, Bulletproof Athletic.

Emma is a running biomechanics nerd who matches the perfect footwear to the individual runner and takes pride of being known as a trainer geek.

She's also an avid runner herself and big into CrossFit and uses her knowledge as an S&C coach and a trainer at TrackLife

London to educate the runner on injury prevention techniques and form. Honestly, we cover everything

in this episode from where to begin as a new runner, had to build up speed,

had to build up distance, finding the right trainers and why strength training should be included

in every runner's program. Grab a notepad, let's chat running. Okay, it's the start of a new year

and I know some people are looking to make some healthy changes,

be that moving more, eating more greens or taking up running. One switch I made last year was

cutting down on alcohol and as a result I swapped in kombucha as the perfect alternative. I used to brew my

own and sometimes I still do but it's a bit of a labour of love and so now I have the

fridge stocked with remedy kombucha for times when I fancy something a little bit more exciting

than still or sparkling water. My personal favourites are the ginger and lemon and apple crisp

flavours but they have loads to choose from. Remedy is also unpasteurized, raw and jam-packed

with live cultures and contains no sugar due to the long-age brew. If you want to try some for yourself,
