Fueling Runs with Fat and Training Low Carb

What if your body could go longer, recover faster and feel more stable by switching fuel sources? In this episode, I’m sharing why I choose to run on fat instead of sugar, how I train low carb without crashing and what it looks like to fuel endurance workouts without the constant blood sugar rollercoaster.

As a runner working on my doctorate in functional nutrition, I’m always looking at the latest research. And more of it is showing that traditional high-carb fueling may not work as well as we thought, especially for long-term metabolic health. I’ll walk you through how I fuel before, during, and after my runs, why I don’t rely on gels for performance and how this strategy is helping me rebuild endurance without burning out my body.

If you’re curious about keto, low carb or just want to stop bonking halfway through your training, this episode will give you a real-world look at what fat-adapted running can actually feel like.
