After a listener question about training logs, we dive into a controversial topic: diet trends. We are not registered dietitians, so please always defer to a sports RD for individual advice. Here, we take a hard look at what the evidence says on glycogen depletion training, fasting for runners, and low-carb diets.

Discussion points include:

Glycogen depletion runs
Intermittent fasting and fasted running
Keto/high-fat-low-carb
How restrictive diets can affect athletic performance
Why carbs help your running
How many carbs runners should eat
