Listen "296. Getting Lean Without Going Crazy"
Episode Synopsis
So here’s the deal: runners are some of the fittest people on the planet, and yet so many struggle with weight.
You put in the miles, the effort, the discipline… and the scale shrugs.
Or, you train for a race and somehow gain weight. That can make you feel a little nuts.
We’re going to fix that today by walking through a sane framework: how to think about food, how to plan without feeling restricted, and how to make decisions that help you get leaner and enjoy your life.
I’ll tell you exactly what to focus on—what levers move the needle—without dumping all the tactical minutiae on you.
That tactical stuff is what I do with clients one-on-one.
