  • 164: Is Every Runner Under Fuelling?
    Apr 4 2026

    Admit it... you’ve finished a long run, jumped straight on the sofa and scrolled through Strava before even thinking about food.

    Sarah and Rick are joined by special guest Aubrey to unpack how many grams of carbohydrates runners actually need - and why so many of us are probably under fuelling before, during and after without realising it.

    They dive into how fuelling advice has evolved, what recent research is telling us about carbohydrate intake and why marathon runners in particular often fall short.
