S2|E8 - Running for Weight Loss & the Dangers of Under-fuelling with Dave Watkeys

Dave Watkeys is an online transformation coach who has helped 100’s of clients navigate one of the most frustrating and common human challenges - weight loss.As we’ve come to understand from our experience, many people start running to lose weight - it’s an excellent way to burn calories!Unfortunately though, many people face similar problems in this pursuit, which can mostly be attributed to the complex balance of consuming enough food to fuel for the work required while still trying to maintain a calorie deficit - the result? Over-training and injuries. Sound familiar? In this conversation with Dave, we unpack the complex relationship of running and weight loss. He helps us understand why people bounce between fad diets, how under-fuelling and overtraining form a negative feed back loop which becomes an impossible cycle to break and how looking after your mental health and healing your relationship with food is key for long lasting results.You can find more on Dave’s work on IG @dw_academy Enjoy!
