Athlete Nutrition Profile - Strength Running Podcast Host & Coach Jason Fitzgerald Sep 08, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Jason Fitzgerald of Strength Running.
Jason and I met back in 2015, when he moderated a nutrition panel I was on at an Endurance Sports conference. We kept in touch thereafter, and I was excited to be a guest on his new at the time podcast to talk all about the impact of pregnancy on running and nutrition, towards the end of my first pregnancy (listen to the episode here). So now it’s Jason’s turn to talk all things nutrition and running!
A little background on Jason - he’s an accomplished runner, a USA Track & Field certified coach, founder of Strength Running (one of the largest running blogs on the web), author of 101 Simple Ways to be a Better Runner and Running for Health and Happiness, and podcaster (his guest line-up is amazing - check it out) as well as a father of three young kids, based in Colorado.
I think you’re really going to enjoy our discussion about his nutrition and athletic background, how Strength Running came to life, how his diet and approach to nutrition have evolved especially since working on his own Nutrition for Runners Program with fellow RD Anne Mauney, and balancing his own training and professional life with raising young kids.

Athlete Nutrition Profile - Endurance Athlete and Coach Travis Macy Aug 26, 2019

Show notes

Today’s episode of the Eat for Endurance Podcast continues my Athlete Nutrition Profile Series with speaker, author, coach, and endurance athlete, Travis Macy. You name the sport, he's probably done it – and maybe even all in a single event! You will finish this episode feeling inspired to seek out your own next big adventure in life and/or in sport, even if you are not an ultra-athlete yourself.
A little more background on Travis - he has finished over 120 ultra endurance events in 17 countries, including setting a record in 2013 for Leadman (an epic endurance event consisting of a trail running marathon, 50-mile mountain bike race, Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race, 10k road run, and Leadville 100 Run), all while raising two young children with his wife in Evergreen, Colorado. He is a former classroom teacher with a Master’s degree in Education, runs a college consulting business with his wife, coaches private clients to finish a variety of endurance events, and wrote the awesome book The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion’s 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life. I read it back in 2015, after Travis and I met at an Endurance conference, and thoroughly appreciated the important and practical advice that he has gleaned from his years of professional racing and how it applies to other areas of life. I particularly enjoyed our exploration of how his principles can be applied to one’s nutrition!
Next week, Travis is setting off on his next big racing adventure – Eco Challenge Fiji – which is “the ultimate expedition race in which international teams of athletes will race non-stop, 24 hours a day, across hundreds of miles of rugged backcountry terrain complete with mountains, jungles and oceans.” The Challenge will air on Amazon Prime in 2020 – so stay tuned if you'd like to watch! We wish you and your teammates the best of luck, Travis!

How Matt Wilpers Fuels for Peak Performance and Endurance Aug 16, 2019

Show notes

Today’s episode kicks off the Athlete Nutrition Profile Series on the Eat for Endurance Podcast, and I’m thrilled to start with none other than Matt Wilpers!

Matt and I go way back to our days coaching a triathlon team together in New York City. He’s an exceptional athlete and coach who blends science and fun into training - an approach I also bring to nutrition with my clients.

Matt’s athletic background is impressive. He competed as an NCAA Division I Cross Country and Track distance runner at Georgia State University and has spent over a decade coaching runners and cyclists.

His coaching experience includes positions at Equinox, Mile High Run Club, and now Peloton, where he leads PowerZone training alongside Denis Morton and also teaches at the Tread studio. If you’re a Peloton member and haven’t taken his classes yet, you’re missing out! As a Peloton bike owner myself, I’m a huge fan.

I know many of you are wondering, “What does Matt eat?” Well, you’re in luck, because you're going to find out!

Join me for this fun conversation, recorded at Peloton HQ, where Matt shares his nutrition philosophy, daily fueling habits, and insights on balancing performance with real-life eating.

Let’s dive in!

Intuitive Eating, Weight, and Athletes – A Discussion with Registered Dietitian Heather Caplan Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

Meet Heather Caplan – a D.C. based Registered Dietitian, freelance writer, running coach, yoga teacher, podcast host, and mother. Heather and I connected back in 2015 at the SCAN (Sports Cardiovascular and Wellness Nutrition) Symposium in Portland OR, and I thought she would be a wonderful first guest on the Eat for Endurance Podcast!
Here are some of the topics that we cover:

What is Intuitive Eating? (Hint - it's more than simply eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're full!)
Intuitive eating and sports nutrition - reconciling the two
What is HAES (health at every size)?
Weight and sports performance - significance of “racing weight” and lowering weight during training (but at what cost?)
Weight and health
Pre-natal and Postpartum running
