Do you feel like nutrition falls apart on your busiest running days? You skip planning, grab random snacks, and end up under-fueled and exhausted.

In this episode, I’m sharing three simple principles to help plant-based runners stay fueled even when life is chaotic—no meal prep, no macro tracking, and no perfect recipes required.

You’ll learn:

• What convenient fueling foods to always keep on hand
• How to fuel during runs when you don’t have time to eat beforehand
• Why simple meals beat complicated recipes on busy weeks
• How to avoid under-fueling, skipped meals, and analysis paralysis

If you’re a runner with a full life—work, kids, workouts, and everything in between—this episode will help you build a fueling plan that actually fits your real schedule.

• How stroller running increases energy needs
• Signs you’re not eating enough to support training
• Why “bouncing back” is a harmful myth
• How to rebuild fitness without burning out

If you’re a mom who runs—or wants to again—this episode will help you rethink fueling, recovery, and what progress really looks like after baby.
