#264 - Charlie Watson: The Runner Beans

It was a pleasure to finally have a chance to speak runner, RD, and author Charlie Watson. I say "finally" because I've wanted to have her on the show for a long time. I've long enjoyed following Charlie's many running accomplishments, she is a 6-Star Abbott World Major Marathon finisher, and culinary creations. After setting aside my nerves, I approached Charlie about coming on the show and was delighted when she accepted the invite.  Charlie's cookbook, Cook, Eat, Run, offers a no-nonsense approach to eating for runners and athletes of all levels. From filling breakfasts and high-protein snacks to post-run energy fixes and speedy suppers, it's an essential companion for anyone looking to seize control of their fitness regime. Not only that, it is the most used cookbook in our house. There's a section dedicated to on-the-go fuel including homemade energy gels, hydration drinks and energy bars, alongside recipes from elite runners including Sara Hall, Kara Goucher and Molly Huddle. You can learn more about Charlie at http://www.therunnerbeans.com/ and purchase her wonderful book at https://www.amazon.com/Cook-Eat-Run-Performance-Ultimate/dp/1787134296.
