The Running Channel
About this episode

Sarah is on holiday this week, so Andy and Rick are joined by nutrition expert, running enthusiast, and content creator Sian Seccombe to unpack the best — and worst — foods to eat before and after a run. It’s a fascinating episode full of tips and tricks on fuelling your body and getting the most out of your training. Whatever kind of run you're taking on, proper nutrition is key to supporting both performance and recovery.

The Running Channel Podcast  tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
