Learning how to properly fuel before and after your runs can be a tricky piece of the running puzzle to figure out since there's no one correct answer for everyone.

 

It's no surprise then that some of the most common questions we receive on our social channels and over email involve fueling for training.

 

In today's episode, we're going to have our team of coaches give you the answers to some of the questions we've received about fueling before and after runs.

 

Our coaches will help you figure out…

• The best way to approach fueling before super early runs
• Whether glycogen depleted runs should be a part of your training
• How to properly fuel for double workout days
• How to ensure you get enough calories in on long run days
• What to focus on after your runs in terms of fueling
• Any special modifications you need to make on long run days
• And finally, what being hungry all the time or at night means 

If you've ever had questions about your pre or post run fueling practices, you're going to love this episode.
