Great information and such approachable nutrition information from the Megs, but Thomas continues to be such a disappointment. In the latest episode speculating that Mary Cain and Kara Goucher could have been the ones in the wrong? Not helpful perspective and pretty offensive
This podcast used to be fun, but it feels like it’s just become another vehicle to market products the general audience doesn’t really need unfortunately. Are Registered Dietitians permitted to promote one specific product or be partial to one brand? If you have to hype sponsor content, okay, but don’t make it so over the top and over-sell, it becomes even more annoying. The bigger question is are you really helping anyone to learn anything about nutrition other than to buy packaged sports mark... more
I love Meghann’s advice and her sunny, welcoming attitude on the show. I took nearly 11 minutes off my marathon PR by incorporating her nutrition recommendations into my training. But Thomas can be elitist and adds very little to the show. He spent a good chunk of the most recent episode making fun of listeners who run with hydration backpacks and speculated that a listener who uses medical cannabis called in to the show high (a dumb joke that didn’t land). Running is for everyone, and we should... more
Guys, you are awesome and the nutrition advice is really solid, but please consider dropping the voicemail listener questions. Many are way too long and I am not really here to listen to some girl talk about how close she is to a sub 3 marathon.
Helpful to a point. Leans more to those in elite training. Hosts ego and insensitive to the entire audience sets in sometimes. Not everyone is seeking Boston, fyi.
