127. Back to Basics: Why Runners Get Fat

Today, I’ve got another episode in my Back to Basics series. This time it’s all about why runners get fat. I’ve talked about this topic a lot here on the podcast, but I want to go over it again today because understanding why you get fat – even if you’re a runner – is going to help you make the changes you need to make to reverse it. Runners are not immune to gaining weight and getting fat. In fact, gaining a lot of weight as a runner is a big part of my story and it’s something hear from runners every single day. So it’s not just me, it’s a problem for so many runners. And I really need you to know that it’s OK. It’s OK to have gained a bunch of weight as a runner. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or that you’re doing something wrong. You’ve just been given a lot of bad advice and been doing things a certain way that clearly doesn’t work for you. So today’s Back to Basics episode will explain why runners get fat and what you can do about it. Interested in coaching with me?
