  • Excellent review, we've just started a 1 year training goal, as a family, to run the Auckland Marathon in Nov 2026. All your episodes are providing valuable insights as we slowly start to build up our running distances leading to the big 42.1km mark 😀

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

5/12- Ask a Nutritionist - First Time Marathon Q&A
Q: Is it necessary to take electrolytes during a run?
Electrolyte needs are highly individual and depend on distance, heat, and sweating. The guest shares personal experience of needing electrolytes for long, hot runs and ultras, but also notes that some athletes may not require them if their gels or foods provide sufficient electrolytes; overall guidance is to tailor to the run length and conditions.
5/12- Ask a Nutritionist - First Time Marathon Q&A
Q: If someone's not hungry enough for all the food they need, what should they do?
The hosts and guest agree that mindset plays a big role, and that sometimes you simply need to get carbohydrates in with convenient, palatable options like snacks (yorkies, Snickers, etc.) rather than insisting on 'perfect' meals; small, frequent energy-dense choices can bridge the gap when appetite is low.
1/12- Marathon Nutrition Foundations- How to Fuel a Marathon
Q: What should I focus on for my marathon training nutrition?
Focus on balanced meals that include carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber while ensuring you have adequate energy intake.
Running Psychology with Dr Jo Douglas
Q: What role does running have in mental health?
Running can lift mood and reduce anxiety, but can also become compulsive or guilt-inducing, highlighting the importance of self-awareness.
Running Psychology with Dr Jo Douglas
Q: What is the differentiation between clinical psychology and sports psychology?
