    Hi, I have just discovered your podcast! I have been picking and choosing episodes dealing with nutrition because I have such a hard time fueling my longer runs and dealing with weight loss! I do feel better eating more protein, less carbs. I just listened to the podcast 216 dealing with being able to run without carb loading! Thank goodness! I hope to one day take your nutrition coaching. Even though I am 67 I’m still working full time. Thanks for all the great info! Happy Running.

  • Life Changing!

    Dear Patrick,

    I ran the Oakland Marathon this morning. It was my 10th marathon, and by far my most enjoyable! The course was a visual delight, the weather was perfect, and the crowd and volunteer support were amazing! But what made this marathon even better was that I ran it fasted. No gels, weird stomach issues, or the simple “yuck factor” of gel-after-gel through months and miles of training, and the 26.2 on race day. What a relief!

    When I laid out my training schedule for this marathon, I re... more

Q: What do you think about the cold therapies, especially ice baths and saunas?
