    Athlete Nutrition Profile - Elite Ultrarunner and (Mostly) Vegan Athlete, Mike Wardian May 25, 2020
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 26 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring elite ultrarunner and (mostly) vegan athlete, Mike Wardian.
    If you haven’t heard of Mike, he’s a beast of an athlete and also one of the nicest, down-to-earth guys you’ll meet in the running world (and elsewhere). The number of back-to-back races, Fastest Known Times (FKTs), and other events that he participates in - and conquers - seemingly every week is superhuman. Most athletes would take a bit of a break after running (let alone winning) a major event - but not Mike! He’s always hungry for more, and it’s truly inspiring to watch.
    Mike follows a mostly vegan diet (he eats eggs and honey), and I was so excited to get him on the show to hear more about how he fuels his amazing and diverse athletic accomplishments. We recorded on April 14th, about a week after he won the Quarantine Backyard ultra. If you’re not familiar with this event, it’s a last-person standing race (in this case, a virtual competition with runners around the world), and Mike won it running 262 miles in 63 hours around his neighborhood, just shy of the world record!!
    Mike races pretty much every distance out there on both road and trail, and has made the podium for many half-marathons, marathons, 50k, 100k and 100 mile races. He has set a number of world records, including the fastest time for 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days, fastest marathon as Spider-man and Elvis, fastest time for the Abbott World Marathon Majors, fastest 50k on a treadmill (he is attempting this one again in early June), and fastest marathon pushing a jogging stroller. He also has set many FKTs around the world, including the Israeli National Trail in 2019. All in-person events have been cancelled, but that hasn’t stopped Mike - he’s been setting FKT after FKT on the trails near where he is based in Arlington, VA, and hopes to run across America later this year.
    But what’s even more impressive is that he does ALL of this while working a full time job and with two kids. As you can imagine, he’s not getting all that much sleep, but somehow he is able to put in all those training hours and perform at an incredibly high level.
    I hope you enjoy my chat with Mike - I certainly felt inspired after our interview, and love following along his adventures on social media, especially these past few months of quarantine.
    Hope you are all continuing to stay safe and healthy! Thanks again, Mike, for taking the time to chat with me!

    Infant and Toddler Nutrition - A Discussion with Pediatric Dietitian Pegah Jalali May 05, 2020
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 25 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Pediatric Dietitian, Pegah Jalali, MS RD.

    Yep, I’m taking a little break from my usual sports nutrition programing to focus on infant and toddler nutrition! It may seem unrelated to talk about general nutrition for kids on this podcast but really, it’s not. Many of my listeners and clients are parents, and as parents, we of course want to do our best to keep our entire family healthy and to cultivate positive relationships with food (and exercise) for life. I sometimes get nutrition questions about babies and toddlers, and that is not my specialty, so I figured it was time to bring on an expert!
    I also wanted to do this episode for personal reasons. With a 7-month old who recently started solids and a 3 year old who can be challenging to feed, infant and toddler nutrition is very much a part of my daily life. I was excited to get a refresher on some things I forgot from my older daughter (hello, baby brain!) and to learn some new strategies that I could immediately work into my day to day.
    Here are some of the topics that we cover in this episode:

    • Breast and formula feeding - things to keep in mind, whichever you choose
    • Weight and growth charts - just like with adults, weight isn’t everything!
    • Starting solids - Purees? Baby led weaning? When do you even start?
    • Feeding toddlers - picky eating, snacks, treats, role modeling, and more
    • Using food as a reward (especially with sweets)

    If you're looking for nutrition advice for slightly older kids, definitely check out Episode 7 all about fueling young athletes (also includes general nutrition advice for adolescents, teens, and college kids).

    We had a few technical issues including a mic fail that diminished the sound quality, but I think you’ll enjoy the content and find it valuable, assuming of course that infant and toddler nutrition is relevant to you. If not, skip ahead - I have an awesome athlete nutrition profile coming up! Also, I think it makes sense to time stamp things in the post-Covid world, so FYI, this episode was recorded on April 13th.
    Thanks for your time, Pegah, and hope everyone (especially my fellow parents of little ones) are hanging in there during these difficult times.

    Courtney Dauwalter on Nutrition, Ultrarunning, and Listening to Her Body Apr 21, 2020
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 24 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Elite ultrarunner, Courtney Dauwalter.

    Welcome to Episode 24 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring legendary ultrarunner, Courtney Dauwalter.

    Courtney is one of the best ultrarunners competing right now. She’s not just coming in as first female and setting course records at races like UTMB, Western States, and Hardrock; she sometimes dominates races outright. I wanted to get her on the show to dig into how she fuels her training as well as her incredible race performances.

    Courtney is known for her love of beer, nachos, and candy as well as her laid-back and cheerful demeanor. She’s also a fierce competitor and incredibly tuned into her body.

    As you’ll hear in this episode, there’s no one big “secret” to her success. It’s years of experimenting with her fueling (she has learned the hard way, like many of us), putting in the miles, remaining flexible with both food and training, and problem-solving when things inevitably go wrong.

    Courtney has her sports nutrition go-to’s (Tailwind, Honey Stinger waffles and chews, and instant potatoes, for example) plus several “safe” meals she chooses prior to a race. Mostly though, she listens to what her body craves.

    Tune in for the rest of Courtney Dauwalter's nutrition story, including some of her favorite nacho toppings and candy.

    PLEASE NOTE - this episode was recorded on March 10th, so keep that in mind when listening (we touch on Coronavirus briefly at the end, but obviously much has changed since then…).

    Athlete Nutrition Profile - Podcast Host and Former Pro-Runner, Tina Muir Apr 01, 2020
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 23 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring elite runner, Running for Real podcast host, and soon to be Mom of two, Tina Muir.
    Tina famously took a break from professional running in 2017, at the peak of her career and just a few months after setting a PR of 2:36 in the marathon, when she decided to prioritize her health and well-being after not having her period for nine years. She has openly shared her story and her own struggles to bring more awareness to amenorrhea and disordered eating commonly found among female athletes, and has created a wonderful online community for runners to support one another on good days and bad.
    I hope you enjoy learning more about Tina’s nutrition story and how her relationship with food has evolved over time. We discussed her journey as an athlete, her struggles with food and nutrition, why she decided to stop running, how she regained her period, nutrition as a family of 3 (soon to be 4!), establishing her Running for Real community and podcast, and much more. It was a fun chat, and of course a very open, honest and real discussion of important topics that many athletes (especially women) face. I hope you find it helpful!
    Thank you again Tina for coming on the show, and wishing you as smooth as possible rest of your pregnancy!
    PLEASE NOTE - this episode (including the intro) was recorded on March 3rd, so that is why we don't discuss Covid-19. I hope you are all staying safe and healthy, and that this episode provides a bit of entertainment while you stay home or enjoy a socially distanced walk or run.

    Nourish Your Mind - Dr. Ashley Selkirk on Mental Health During the Global Pandemic Mar 19, 2020
    Show notes

    “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” — Viktor Frankl
    Welcome to Episode 22 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring clinical psychologist Dr. Ashley Selkirk, Ph.D. Given the rapid unraveling of life as we know it in this post-Covid-19 world, I wanted to interview a mental health professional to discuss coping mechanisms and other strategies that we can use to deal with the anxiety, stress, disappointment, fear, and other overwhelming feelings that many of us are experiencing right now. This isn’t directly nutrition or sports related, but when it comes to health and performance, everything is connected. I’m sure you know that there is a strong link between the body and the mind, and now more than ever, it’s a top priority to look after both.
    Dr. Selkirk has her own Telehealth practice, Selkirk Psychology, and is a mom of two. We discussed the challenges of attempting to work with the kids at home - something I know many of my listeners can relate to - plus specific breathing and other mental exercises that you can do to be more present (the hardest thing for me), avoid the comparison trap, and calm the mind. I know many of you are devastated that big races have been cancelled, struggling being out of your routine, feeling claustrophobic being stuck inside (esp with family members around, placing even more demands on you), and/or you’re simply trying not to constantly be in a state of fear. I’m sure you’re aware, but I’m going to say it anyway - you are not alone!
    Personally, I am very anxiety prone, especially during these postpartum months, and like many others, have been struggling with all the uncertainty. Having spent the last 6 months mostly at home anyway (working from home, taking care of a newborn, winter, etc), in some ways it’s a continuation of what I’ve already been doing. But of course, it’s completely different. I’m home with my 5 month old and 3 year old and continuing to attempt to work part-time from home while my husband works a demanding full-time job, all in our tiny apartment. Needless to say, the days feel long and certainly not very productive. It’s also tough not to spiral once the girls go to sleep, when I start to think about what the future holds. But I’m trying to take it day by day, be more patient, do one thing for myself each day if I can, really prioritize what needs to happen, and let go of any expectations I have regarding productivity. We’re all just doing our best, controlling what we can control in a situation that feels out of control, trying to be kind to ourselves, connecting virtually to friends and family, and practicing compassion towards others in our community.
    I hope you all enjoy this episode and find it helpful. I know I did and will be trying to put into practice some of the advice she shared. I hope you all manage to stay healthy, active (as desired, of course), and can find foods, activities, or virtual connections that bring you joy in all this madness!

    Food Allergies & Intolerances - A Discussion with Registered Dietitian Chelsey Amer Mar 02, 2020
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 21 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring a discussion of food allergies and intolerances with NYC-based dietitian, Chelsey Amer, MS RD. This is an important topic and one that often causes confusion, especially in the landscape of all the fad diets out there. It’s also one that I can relate to, as I developed a severe shellfish allergy in my early 20’s, so I’m glad that we’re tackling this topic in today’s episode.
    Chelsey is the founder of Chelsey Amer Nutrition, a virtual nutrition counseling practice and consulting business. She has had severe allergies from a young age, which is in part what inspired her to become a dietitian - to help empower others with allergies figure out what they can safely eat without feeling deprived. In addition to her private client work, she loves to whip up all kinds of (allergy-friendly) recipes! Definitely check out her IG/blog as well as her brand new cookbook below if you’re looking for some cooking inspiration. She also has an 8 month old son, so we of course enjoyed chatting about the challenges of postpartum life.
    Here are some of the things that we cover in this episode:

    • Our personal allergy stories
    • The basics - what is an allergy vs an intolerance?
    • Lactose intolerance and dairy, more generally
    • Celiac disease, gluten intolerance/sensitivity, and gluten, more generally
    • Pro-inflammatory foods
    • Increased prevalence of allergies in kids
    • Disordered eating disguised as allergies/intolerances
    • How Chelsey approaches recipe development
    • Postpartum life - sugar cravings, exercise, and more
    • Eating out with allergies
    • Gluten, dairy & thyroid

    *FYI, if you’re mostly interested in the allergy/intolerance discussion, we take a break from the topic for a bit and then resume the main discussion around 43 minutes into the episode, when I finally remember the remaining questions I wanted to ask!

    Athlete Nutrition Profile - Running Legend, Meb Keflezighi Feb 19, 2020
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 20 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring four-time Olympian and legendary distance runner, Meb Keflezighi.

    Like many of you I’m sure, I have admired Meb - both his athletic accomplishments as well as his character - for many years. He won the NYC Marathon in 2009, right as I started to train for my first marathon. And in 2014, I was in the middle of running my second Boston Marathon when I heard the amazing and uplifting news that Meb, at nearly 39 years old, had won the race (he was the first American to do so since 1985). He’s also an Olympic silver medalist (Athens, 2004), the oldest marathoner to qualify for the US Olympic team, and an author of three great books that detail his unique story and long, inspiring career (Run to Overcome, Meb for Mortals, and26 Marathons).
    I had the privilege of meeting Meb this past Fall. We chatted briefly about nutrition and bonded over having daughters (he has three, and I was very pregnant with my second). Just as he was about to move on to the next person, I mustered up the courage to ask him to be on my newly-launched podcast. He said yes, and five months later, I had the honor of interviewing him!
    I will confess that I was a bit nervous going into this one, but that melted away the minute we started chatting. He truly is a kind, down-to-earth, funny guy and a wonderful ambassador to the sport. He also is a great example of endurance and longevity in running, so obviously I was excited to deep-dive into his nutrition!
    Meb and I explored his life and career in detail through a nutrition lens, including:

    • What he ate while in Eritrea and after emigrating to the US via Italy (Eritrean cuisine sounds delicious, btw)
    • How his nutrition evolved once he started running competitively in high school and college
    • Significant learning moments re: his nutrition after he turned pro
    • Juggling family life with his nutrition, training and recovery demands
    • Nutrition sponsorships (UCAN, Powerbar)
    • What training and nutrition look like now that he is retired (hint - he is loving his sweets)
    • His take on raising body-positive daughters

    Athlete Nutrition Profile - Outdoor Sports Journalist and Author, Lisa Jhung Feb 10, 2020
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 19 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring outdoor sports journalist, editor, copywriter, and content marketing creator, Lisa Jhung.

    Lisa has been a journalist in the outdoor industry for 20 years. She writes about adventure, running, endurance, and outdoor sports and the gear that goes with them for magazines like Outside, Runner’s World, Backpacker, Mountain, Women’s Running and Podium Runner, andalso writes content for brands in the outdoor industry. Lisa has authored two books: “Trailhead: The Dirt on All Things Trail Running,” and most recently, "Running That Doesn't Suck: How To Love Running (Even If You Think You Hate It).” That’s actually how Lisa and I connected - she reached out a couple years ago to interview me for the fueling section of her book (find me on page 161), and when I received my copy, I figured why not interview her too?
    We had a fun conversation that took us through a wide variety of topics, including:

    • Growing up in California, with the culinary influences of her Korean father
    • Life as a college athlete, including struggles with nutrition and fueling
    • How she came to love running (because it wasn’t always that way…hence her latest book!) and her tips for all of you!
    • Life in Colorado, with her husband and two young, active boys
    • Her own passion for outdoor sports (running, triathlon, skate skiing, snow showing, snowboarding, adventure racing, and more) and the nutrition that helps support these activities
    • Life as a sports journalist and all the adventures that accompany her work

    I hope you enjoy the episode! If you’d like to learn more about Lisa, check out the links below:

    Athlete Nutrition Profile - Ultrarunner, Mountaineer, and Adventure Racer Marshall Ulrich Jan 22, 2020
    Show notes

    I’m very excited to kick off Season Two of the Eat for Endurance Podcast with ultrarunner, mountaineer, adventure racer, speaker, and author, Marshall Ulrich. As an athlete, Marshall’s list of accomplishments is impressive, to say the least (and still growing, too). Just to name a few: he has climbed Mount Everest, crossed Death Valley on foot (in July) a record 22 times, completed the Seven Summits all on first attempts, finished more than 100 ultramarathons averaging over 100 miles each, competed in all nine Eco-Challenge adventure races, and broke two transcontinental speed records at the age of 57 when he ran 3,063.2 miles in 52.5 days from San Francisco to New York.

    This last feat was the basis for his 2011 memoir, Running on Empty, which I read several years ago after meeting Marshall and highly recommend. I also thoroughly enjoyed his latest book, Both feet on the ground: Reflections from the Outside, which details his life on the farm and how it shaped his own approach to food and nutrition.
    Our conversation took us through a wide variety of topics, including:

    • The disconnect between us and nature, and the role this plays on our relationship with food and health (i.e. confusion or obsession with eating the “right” foods).
    • How being an endurance athlete means becoming an “expert in eating”
    • Being a vegan vs omnivore (a particularly hot topic right now, especially in the endurance world)
    • The extreme differences in fueling for his various events (e.g. climbing Mt. Everest vs Badwater vs Eco-Challenge)
    • Becoming a role model for longevity in sport - staying active and strong through your 50s and 60s

    I hope you enjoy this episode and find some inspiration in our conversation! If you wish to learn more about Marshall:

    Athlete Nutrition Profile - Recreational Cyclist and Runner, Jacqui Cincotta Dec 08, 2019
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 16 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring recreational cyclist and runner, Jacqui Cincotta.
    Jacqui is a former nutrition client of mine who worked with me back in 2018 on improving her everyday diet and her approach to sports nutrition during training and racing. I found her story to be unique and inspiring, and very much connected to food and exercise, so I asked her to be my first recreational athlete nutrition profile guest on the podcast.
    Jacqui lives in Arlington, Virginia, was in the military for many years and deployed overseas, and now works in the public sector supporting global health. She was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) at the age of three, and has had many ups and downs with her illness. Thankfully, her RA has been in remission for the last two years, thanks to regular exercise and following a way of eating that works well for her.
    We recorded back in September, right before her first 26.2 attempt at the Marine Corps Marathon. Unfortunately, she was unable to finish. Here’s her update:
    “It was absolutely pouring, and some guy (I am sure by accident) knocked into me about 15 or so miles in hard enough that I fell on my knees. I went to a medical tent and had a ton of ice put on my knees but couldn’t finish the race. I was bummed, but still want to achieve my goal of completing a Marathon so I signed up for the New Jersey Marathon in April 2020. I did however run the Army Ten Miler a few weeks before and set a new 10 mile PR for myself. So I learned sometimes things go as planned, and sometimes they don’t; shake it off and try again!”
    Great attitude, Jacqui - I know I would’ve been PISSED had that happened to me, but as you said, you just have to move on and try again. Good luck in NJ - I’m sure you’ll crush it!
    Hope you enjoy this episode and that it helps motivate you to push through challenging moments, whether it’s a tough workout, a medical issue, or any other obstacles you encounter.
