As a runner, you’ve probably been told that if you want to avoid hitting the wall, you need to consume a whole lot of one main fuel source – sugar.

This approach does work for some, but for others it spells metabolic disaster, leading to incessant weight gain, insulin resistance, and a host of other health issues.

If you fall into the latter category, you may want to consider becoming metabolically flexible.

Metabolic flexibility means you are able to use multiple fuel sources effectively.

This approach will help you lose weight, run longer, and run faster.

In this episode of the podcast, you’ll learn exactly what metabolic flexibility is, the benefits of becoming metabolically flexible, and how to get started with it.
