Feeling overwhelmed by all the options for intra-run fueling? You're not alone. In this episode, we’re diving into how to build a personalized fueling strategy that supports your performance and keeps your gut happy—no matter what the weather throws at you on race day.

Many runners stick to the same products and approach for every race, but your fueling needs can change depending on temperature, duration, sweat rate, and even personal taste preferences. I’m walking you through the three essential components of an intra-run fueling plan—fluids, fuel, and electrolytes—so you can go into race day fully prepared and avoid hitting the wall.

Whether you’re training for your first half marathon or chasing a PR, this episode will give you the tools to fuel smarter and run stronger.
