220. Should You Lose Weight While Training for a Race?

March 15, 2024

A lot of runners are told not to lose weight while training for a race.


There are many reasons why they are given this advice (which I cover in today’s episode), but I don’t necessarily agree with all of it.


I believe there’s a right way and a wrong way to lose weight as a runner, even when you’re training for an event like a half or full marathon.


In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, can you…and should you lose weight while training for a race?
