Q&A With Maddie - 7
Manage episode 478958933 series 3648121
Today's episode is a Q&A with me, your host, Maddie Alm, registered dietitian and former professional runner. I start of the episode with some brief thoughts on Monday's Boston Marathon, then I'm answering questions submitted by listeners. Today's questions include:
- I went through a period of time where I was under fueling, and have worked on healing my relationship with food and eating more. However since I've made these changes, I've dealt with 2 bone injuries. Is this due to my history of under-fueling? And if so, how long will this last and what can I do to help my body recover faster?
- Is all chocolate milk created equal for post-run recovery? What is the different between adding chocolate syrup to whole or 2% milk vs. store bought chocolate milk vs. something like Fairlife chocolate milk?
- As an 18 year old high school track athlete who likes to life weights, I understand that I need to fuel my body in order to train and live life but I’m struggling mentally with how much food I need to eat because I’m scared how it will change my body composition. What do you recommend?
- If I am averaging 20-30 miles a week how much carbs should I aim to get?
