New episode of Running Divine Podcast drops today!!!

Featuring a certified holistic nutritionist and precision level 2 coach who helps competitive athletes simplify their fuelling plan.

My biggest take aways from speaking with Melissa

🔸️"Be the athlete who eats to train and compete hard, not get skinny"

🔸️If you training regularly = 'you are an athlete'

🔸️You don't need to eliminate any of your favorite foods to be successful. All food can fit into your diet as an athlete

Let know what resonates with you!

Do you think of yourself as an athlete?

Do you struggle with nutrition and race day
fuelling?

New episode of Running Divine Podcast!

George Brown is 67 and lives in Houston, Texas. He has been running since the 1970's and ran his first marathon in Japan when he was a US Marine. Since then he has completed over 50 marathons and completed the Trans Rockies a 120 mile six day stage race. We chat about maintaining longevity in the sport, embracing and enjoying running at the front, mid or back of the pack. He identifies as an introvert and running allows George time for contemplation and reflection and racing allows him a time to connect with other like minded individuals and share the challenges, struggles and triumphs of the trail. I met George at the Transelkirks Stage Race in 2018 and he has become a dear friend and always makes me laugh out loud. It was so great to reconnect with him and learn more about his story.
