Why You’re Not Recovering From Your Runs (And How to Fix It on a Plant-Based Diet)

In this episode, sports dietitian and Greenletes founder Natalie Rizzo breaks down the most common mistakes runners make when it comes to recovery, especially on a plant-based diet, and how to fix them so you can feel stronger, faster, and more energized.

You’ll learn:

• Why under-fueling is the #1 reason runners struggle to recover
• What the research actually says about the post-run recovery window (hint: it’s more than 30 minutes)
• How to properly time your post-run snack and meal for better energy and less soreness
• The key nutrients plant-based runners need to watch (like iron, B12, and vitamin D)
• Why hydration and electrolytes can make or break your recovery

Plus, Natalie shares simple, realistic plant-based meal and snack ideas you can start using right away.
