Q: What are the top three things for getting started with nutrition tracking?
Start without a low calorie budget, focus on a week view instead of a day view, and track protein first.

Q: Are those running plans that are four or five days a week typically for people running longer distances who need more of that slow progressive volume with those rest days in between?
You can get the most out of a two or three day plan. Sometimes when we think of running volumes, we always think running more days is better.
