S2 E5: Running Coach- The powerful connection between training, fueling, and performance.

Season 2 Episode 5 of the Running for Beginners podcast from the 22resolutionists, hosted by me Mike Fleming.

Ever hit a wall in training?

Chances are it’s not just your workouts — it’s your nutrition too.

My guest today is a full-time virtual running coach who also has a college background in dietetics and nutrition. That means he doesn’t just create running plans — he understands how what we eat and how we train work hand in hand to help us stay healthy, run stronger, and avoid burnout.

We’ll be talking about everything from building smarter training plans, to fueling for long runs, to breaking through plateaus, and even how to navigate all the diet and fitness trends that can be so overwhelming online.

Running stronger isn’t just about miles — it’s about fueling smarter too. In this episode, I chat with Drew Connor, a full-time virtual running coach with a background in dietetics and nutrition, about how training and nutrition work hand in hand to help you avoid burnout, break through plateaus, and feel your best on every run.

Whether you’re chasing your first 5K or a half marathon PR, you’ll get practical takeaways to improve your running right away.
