Listen "#26: Is running good for weight loss and is weight loss good for running?"
Episode Synopsis
Weight loss and running are somewhat linked but you will hear differing opinions on whether each is good for the other. Many people start running to aid with weight loss so is this a good idea or are there better alternatives?
Similarly, people start to look to weight loss as a way to improve their running performance. Is that a good idea or are there better tools to help with your performance?
I explore how my opinions have changed as I have experienced both weight loss and performance gains at different stages of my life and that as usual, there is definitely some nuance, indivisualism and middle ground to this subject.
