    In this episode of the marathon running podcast, we discuss
    the complexities of fueling during long runs with Registered Dietitian Serena Marie, RD. We explore how our bodies may not accurately signal fueling needs during extended exercise, due to factors like diverted blood flow and stress
    hormones affecting digestion. Early warning signs of inadequate fueling include hunger pangs and other symptoms. Newer runners or those returning from a break
    might find it harder to gauge their hunger cues. To ensure proper fueling, runners can implement practical strategies such as consuming easy-to-digest foods and drinks at regular intervals. Finding the right balance between energy
    intake and digestive comfort is crucial to avoid overdoing it with fuel.

Love this podcast!

The training on a treadmill episode came out just when I needed it.

And the Pinky and the Brain reference at the very end was the cherry on top!

Great to listen to during your long runs!

Enjoy listening to the wealth of knowledge this podcast provides. I usually listen to several episodes during my long runs, and something in the podcast is always applicable to what I’m currently experiencing in my training.
