214. Replay: Why Running Doesn’t Work for Weight Loss

February 02, 2024

Being overweight is not something that’s not talked about very much (or at all) in the running community.


There seems to be some stigma around being a runner and being overweight. Like you’re not running enough, or you’re somehow doing it wrong if you’re training for a marathon and you’re overweight.


I know exactly how this feels.


In this episode, I’ll share why running is not a very effective tool for weight loss, and why you need to treat the underlying physical, mental, and emotional aspects of overeating if you really want to lose weight for good.
