Runners...to carb or not to carb?
Hey there runners! Ramping up my running schedule and am looking for insight on how you fuel the day before, day of and post run. I have read recently that they have debunked the "carb load" theory pre runs. I enjoy a lower carb diet and struggle with my longer runs if I do not ingest a heavier carb load the night before.…

what are your running superstitions?

Running preference? Road/trail/ track/ tread/naked/hills
As a somewhat new runner....always hated it in the past since I had only ever tried it at the track or pavement, but I have fallen in love with trail running. Curious as to what everyone else prefers..... Do you go for distance or time?

Ahhhh....Football season is upon us
So excited that THE season is finally upon us, but, with it comes lots of temptations for food and beverage. Earlier this year I cleaned up my eating habits quite a bit. Love how I feel with eating cleaner and can't complain about the small physical changes that go along with it either. Anyone else worried about caving…
