Today I sat down with Registered Dietitian Holley Samuel to discuss the best way for runners to fuel for performance. We talked about the different types of runners, their calorie and carb needs, and what to eat before and after runs. We also covered pre-race nutrition, including carb loading, and Holley weighed in on whether runners need any supplements to support their nutrition.
