As spring marathons are looming closer, it’s time you get thinking about the correct hydration and nutrition strategy.
Even if you don’t have a marathon coming up or you are thinking about one the future, it’s time to really try to take these little things like nutrition seriously.
Today’s guest demonstrates the importance of refueling; explaining why it is so important, and what you need to keep in mind to stay healthy, not just right now, but for the rest of your life.
We talk about how the decisions you make today could be affecting you down the road.
