Nutrition for Runners (Lose Weight and Run Faster Without Dieting)

Whether you like it or not, regular running does not mean you should let your nutrition suffer.

In fact, the opposite is true. And if you're looking to lose weight, coupling consistent running with a good diet can increase your chances of reaching your goal weight.

In this episode I talk with Jason Fitzgerald from Strength Running. Jason is a running coach, 2:39 marathoner and a wealth of practical knowledge when it comes to all things running.

If you want to become the best runner you can be, your diet can not be ignored.

Listen to this podcast episode and be sure to check out Jason's Nutrition for Runners program.

Works Around your Schedule

Time is hard to come by. Kids, work, and other commitments can get in the way. You need a plan that's easy to follow and can work around you, not the other way around.

Break down the lies you tell yourself

You look "weird" when you run. You’re “not” a runner. You’re too “slow” or too "Old." We're here to tell you right here, right now, that you’re wrong. You only *think* these things because it's new and you feel uncomfortable. That'll change with consistency and time. You are a runner!

Exercise Smarter, not harder

It may have been hard previously, but it doesn't have to be – now, you'll be given the tools and the knowledge to succeed. We’re doing things differently in order to see different results.

N2R Eases you in

Running when you aren't ready or without the proper training can hurt, leaving you with nagging injuries that never seem to clear up. We ease you in, giving you the strength and conditioning you need to make sure your running doesn't come with pain.
