65. A Bariatric Athlete Journey With Endurance Runner Heather Wade

In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed bariatric endurance runner, Heather Wade, also known as @heathernadine94 on IG. We discussed:

• How Heather built up from short distances to running a full marathon after bariatric surgery
• Heather's training program including a typical week of mileage and crosstraining
• The biggest nutrition changes Heather implemented when training for a full marathon
• What Heather eats pre-run as well as intra-run fueling products
• Biggest lessons learned and her advice for someone who wants to start training for endurance races
