Today’s conversation is a little different, but I’m really thankful to get to reinvite two guests back, powerlifter and endurance runner Jess of Everwild Performance and marathoner and registered dietitian nutritionist Jen Scott for a well-rounded conversation on nutrition and strength and their place in running and training.
Jess and Jen are an absolute wealth of information and so it’s an absolute honor and treat to get to pick their brains at the time time for a bit on why embracing nutrition and lifting is important to long life of running, which I don’t know about you, but is definitely part of my plan to keep doing this thing I love for as long as my body allows.
As a registered dietician nutritionist, Jen focuses on sports nutrition. Her deep understanding of the importance of fueling appropriately for training, Jen works with runners on developing individualized nutrition plans, emphasis on the individualized! She knows that no two runners are the same and needs vary person to person.
Jess combines her love of running and heavy lifting to help others be their best, most injury-free running self. She began her power lifting journey in 2021 and continues to pursue new goals in lifting. Jess truly believes that knowledge is power so at the beginning of the pandemic, she developed her book "Grit" which is a runner's guide or really an incredible resource with detailed information on how to become you strongest running self with hours of research to back it up.
In our conversation, we dive right into busting myths runner should maybe stop perpetuating on what is the best size for running performance, as well as talk about some things that Jen and Jess hope more people might talk about. I am always learning so much from them both!
