Aaannd, like the proverbial boomerang, we're back again!

Yes, we know it's been another bit of a break but we're getting some rhythm back, promise! To that end we start by introducing Matt, who joins Nick and Faye as co-host, bringing his own mix of "all the gear, perhaps a little idea" in running, research and soft tissue therapy. Nick is going to be training Matt over his 2025 Centurion 50 Slam, so there will be plenty of insight into training plans and Matt's survival strategies moving forward :)

We recap Nick's busy summer of running with both the Lakeland 50 and his family jaunt round France culminating in the CCC, plus his plans for the 2025 London Marathon and raising funds for Breast Cancer Now - see his Just Giving page for more on that

Then we're into the meat of this episode, where Harvey Fortis, PhD in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition at Liverpool John Moores University, takes to the hot seat to answer all your questions on nutrition in running, including;

• Should I consider taking protein on my longer runs?
• Where do Ultra Processed Foods fit in for a runner?
• Is a calorie deficit manageable whilst still training for performance?
• What do we know about the differences in female and male athlete nutrition?

Loads of great stuff, it will definitely make you question if you're carrying enough food with you when listening to it on a long run! Huge thanks to Harvey for coming on, and you can follow him on Instagram for more insights...
