Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Haley: Young, Speedy, and Wise

Q: Tell us how that idea came to your head where you're like, I'm going to run for Team Canada.

Haley shares that she learned about the Youth Sky Running Team from friends who participated and felt inspired to apply after watching them compete in Italy.

Haley: Young, Speedy, and Wise

Q: What do you think about kids and sports in general and how your history of multi-sports kind of impacted the ability you have to run today?

Haley expresses that she believes kids should play multiple sports rather than specializing too early. Her parents supported her diverse athletic interests, which helped prevent burnout and allowed her to find joy in running.

Carol-Ann: Sports Dietitian Q & A

Q: What about if somebody's coming to you and this is kind of, actually, I feel like over the years, I've trained my system to be different, but I used to have to have some sort of protein and fat in anything over, say, four hours, because I would actually just get hungry. Is there any truth to that or do you just work through it if you have more carbs, you'll be fine?

Yeah, a lot of times I don't see fat super beneficial in a race because of the distance of it or the length of time. I will suggest people go for solid carbs, but if someone insists on protein and fat to avoid hunger, we can adjust their nutrition plan to accommodate those needs.

Carol-Ann: Sports Dietitian Q & A

Q: Can you give us an example of some bad advice that you heard that made you feel that way?

A lot of running coaches focus on weight, suggesting you cannot have extra weight on the start line, leading athletes to obsess over losing weight rather than focusing on their performance.

Carol-Ann: Sports Dietitian Q & A

Q: Did you get into the dietitian world because of athletics or how did you decide to do that?

Growing up, any sports team I was on, we would get presentations from a sports dietitian. I loved those presentations and was intrigued by how nutrition can provide a competitive edge.
