Why else? 🤷‍♀️ But honestly, this has been something that I’ve struggled with for most of my life. Feeling pressure to “look like a runner”, trying to gain confidence from a number on the scale or a glance in the mirror, or sacrificing optimal recovery and fitness gains in the name of “getting lean.” Now, I continually remind myself that my goal is to run fast, get stronger, and avoid injuries. The way that I look may be influenced by those goals, but it IS NOT the goal. So whenever I question whether or not I should have breakfast before a run, take in carbs during my workout, add an extra snack between session, etc, etc the answer is YES. Fuel performance, fuel life, fuel your body and trust that it knows what’s best. #fuelperformance #voiceinsport #bearunner #bodyimage #nnormal
