Then, they unpack the brief history of the running influencer — how it all started, some of the influential figures in the space, the pro athlete as influencer, and where this all goes from here. Finally, they break down how to approach eating pre run or race, as well as some terrible mistakes each has made in the past with food before running.\nPodcast hosts: Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci, Michael Doyle\nAlso check out the video version of our pods on YouTube!
