The Eat for Endurance Podcast Claire Shorenstein, MS RD CSSD CDN

Welcome to Episode 90 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring sports dietitian and ultra runner Julie Shobe, MS RDN. Julie is a second-time guest on the show, and I brought her back to tell me all about her recent Zion 100 mile finish. In case you missed it, we did an in-depth episode (number 69) all about how to fuel an ultra marathon. So think of today's episode as a sequel, where instead of general ultra nutrition advice we talk specifically about how Julie created her own fueling plan...

Welcome to Episode 89 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Alyssa Leib, MS RD of Peak to Peak Nutrition. Today, we’re chatting about sports nutrition for mountain athletes, with a spotlight on climbers. Alyssa is herself a trail runner and climber, and I had a ton of questions about climbing as it’s most definitely not my sport, plus I’m always eager to learn from other sports RDs who specialize in different niches than mine. I thought it would be fun to chat about how nutrition for cl...

Welcome to Episode 88 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring recreational distance runner Trey Duncan.

We discuss key hydration concepts and strategies, including how to identify fluid and sodium needs during exercise, ...

Welcome to Episode 86 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring fellow Sports Dietitian and endurance athlete Dana Eshelman (MS RD CSSD), founder of A Dash of Dana Performance Nutrition. Today, Dana and I are chatting about the hormone cortisol (aka "the stress hormone") and how it relates to health and performance in endurance athletes. We were brainstorming topics and landed on this one, as we both frequently see our active clients burning the candle at both ends with training, work,...

Welcome to Episode 85 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring back of the pack trail and ultra runner Janet Cunningham. Janet is a mental health professional and a fan of the podcast, and she reached out to me awhile back to share her nutrition story. You all enjoy the professional athletes I have on here, but many of you have asked for me to interview more recreational athletes as well, since they are often a bit more relatable. Janet has had quite the journey with her nutrition and athl...
