In The Leaner, Stronger Runner Framework – Part 2: How Runners Should Actually Eat, we’re talking about the piece that confuses more runners than anything else: food.

Most runners think eating better means eating less, cutting out carbs completely, or just being more disciplined.

And for a while, that might seem like it’s working.

But then the hunger ramps up, recovery slows down, energy crashes, and running starts to feel way harder than it should.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how runners should actually eat if they want to burn fat, recover faster, and stop feeling like food is a constant mental tug-of-war.

This isn’t about meal plans, calorie counting, or eating perfectly. It’s about fueling in a way that supports your training instead of fighting against it.

If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or stuck when it comes to food and running, this episode is going to bring a lot of clarity.

Ready to stop guessing and start making real progress?

If you’re training hard but not getting the results you want…
If running feels harder than it should…
If you know you could be leaner, stronger, and more confident — but you’re not sure what to fix first…

That’s exactly why I created The Leaner, Stronger Runner Project.

If you’re a runner who feels like you’re doing everything “right” but still not getting the results you want, this episode is for you.

This is The Leaner, Stronger Runner Framework – Part 1: Why Running More Isn’t the Answer. And today, we’re going to take a hard look at one of the biggest mistakes runners make when they’re trying to lose weight and improve performance—just doing more miles and hoping it eventually works.

Because for most runners, running more often, longer, or harder doesn’t fix the problem. It actually makes things worse.

In this episode, I’ll explain what’s really happening inside your body, why effort doesn’t always equal progress, and what you should focus on instead if you want to feel lighter, stronger, and make running feel easier again.

This is Part 1 of a short, powerful series designed to give you clarity, quick wins, and a simple framework you can start using right away—without burning yourself out.

So if running feels harder than it should…
if you’re training consistently but your body doesn’t seem to change…
and if you’ve tried adding more miles, more intensity, more discipline—and somehow you’re still stuck…

this episode is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.

This episode is called “What This Year Taught You (If You’re Willing to Look)”, and it’s probably one of the most important conversations we can have right now.

Before you rush into setting new goals, new races, or another plan that promises everything will be different next year, I want you to pause.

Because if you don’t take the time to reflect on what this year actually showed you—about your habits, your mindset, your training, and your relationship with your body—you’re likely to repeat the same patterns all over again.

Today, we’re not talking about success or failure.

We’re talking about lessons. Honest ones.

The kind that lead to real change—if you’re willing to look at them.

This is a reflective, slightly uncomfortable, but incredibly powerful year-end reset that can change how you show up next year—not just as a runner, but as a human being.
