Are you a runner or endurance athlete? If so, this episode is for you! In this episode you’ll hear from registered sports dietitian, Kathryn Ward MS, RD, CNSC, about her journey recovering from ACL injuries not once, but twice, and how she successfully made her way back to running and training for a marathon!

Kathryn and I discussed:

  • The road to recovery after ACL reconstruction surgery (x 2!)
  • The importance of adequate nutrition and strength training for runners and endurance athletes
  • Recommendations for fueling before, during, and after a training session
  • Why carbs are so important for runners and endurance athletes
  • The potential consequences of under-fueling
  • And LOTS more!
