    Spring Energy Debacle with Pro Food Scientist Kelsey Banaszynski

    Spring Energy Debacle with Pro Food Scientist Kelsey Banaszynski

    We discuss the Spring Energy Debacle with Professional Food Scientist Kelsey Banaszynski, who is also the Operations Director for the High Lonesome 100 and a 100-mile finisher herself. She lives in Buena Vista, CO and currently works for Campbell Soup Company.


    Spring Energy has recently come under scrutiny for the validity of their nutritional claims on their products. In the episode, we recap the factual findings and discuss how this could have happened at Spring, how Spring should and can respond, and discuss how we should move forward to build trust not just in Spring, but in the whole running nutrition industry. We also reject some of the more toxic drama that is associated with this story.

Inspiring

If you want to get or stay inspired to run, this is the podcast to listen to! Miranda and Jon’s enthusiasm and passion for running is contagious and you’ll find yourself doing Google searches for trails/races/gear they talk about. Appreciate that they’re open to recommendations from their listeners about future episodes or topics to discuss, not many podcast shows will do that :)
