This week's episode is a Q&A with me, your host, Maddie Alm. I start the episode by giving a quick update on how I'm preparing to train for NYCM (spoiler alert, it's not much). Then, I'm answering questions that have been submitted by listeners.

Today's questions I answer include:

  • As a busy student athlete, I know some days I'm not getting enough in because of my busy schedule. Should I be worried about within day deficits, and what can I do about it? Also, do I need to be buying organic produce on the budget of a student athlete?
  • What are your thoughts on using pure maple syrup during training or racing as a source of fuel?
  • I'm training for a marathon and I noticed I gained about 5lb, is this normal or does this mean that I'm over fueling?
  • Is there any research behind creatine use for endurance athletes, and is it something I should incorporate or is it just another social media fad?

Thank you to everyone who has submitted questions! If you have a question that you'd like to submit for future Q&A episodes, you can do so on my website at www.fuelingforward.com under the podcast tab or email me at fuelingforwardpodcast@gmail.com.
