Dear Runner Bod,

What you learn from a ”bad run”

I share a recent experience I had with a bad run and reflecting on why it was a bad run. I share the feedback I took from that run and how I am using that to make adjustments for my next long run. I also talk about mental grit and how we can use it to get through our bad runs. I give you tips on how to adjust your mindset and mental grit.

The ”Crappiest” (Literally) Diet Foods for Runners

I have lived through the "crap" of diet/low calorie foods for runners. I go over my top 5 foods I have found to be the worst and I also touch on why these foods are so common in the running community.
 
If you feel like I missed a "crappy" diet food, please DM at @serenamarierd.

The Fat Adapted Running Community Forgot This

I am talking this week about how you need to stop running (or having a hard workout) on an empty belly. I debunk the most common questions on why people decide to do fat adapted workouts/runs. I also talk about why people don't eat before workouts/runs because of GI issues. I have done both of these and I give you a lot ideas on what to do instead of these fat adapted workouts/runs. 
If you are struggling with fat adapted workouts/runs, please DM me @serenamarierd and I will get you my free resources!
