56. Good Carbs, Bad Carbs

January 22, 2021

Some of the most often-asked questions I get from runners revolve around the topic of carbohydrates.
Most runners I talk to are either straight-up addicted to carbs or at the very least obsessed with them.
So when I come in and start talking about a low-carb approach to running and weight loss, they freak out a little bit.
They just can’t imagine a world where carbs are not the main focus of their nutrition game plan.
In this episode of the podcast, I answer some of the biggest questions runners ask about carbs, like what are good carbs and bad carbs?
I’ll be covering the quality of carbs, the number of carbs, and the timing of your carbs, all of which play important roles in long-distance running and weight loss goals.
