Eat Better, Run Better: The Nutrition Habits Every Runner Should Know | Runner’s Sole Podcast

What you eat can have a bigger impact on your running than you might think.

In this episode of The Runner’s Sole Podcast, Sharon Miller is joined by Ella, a passionate nutrition advocate on a mission to help 10,000 people become happier and healthier.

Ella’s own nutrition journey began at 21, when she discovered how dramatically better she could feel by changing the way she fuelled her body. What started as a personal transformation quickly became a passion for helping others experience the same benefits.
Together, Sharon and Ella explore the connection between nutrition, running, recovery, energy and long-term health—and why runners sometimes focus so much on training while overlooking what happens in the kitchen.

In this episode, you'll discover:
🥗 Why nutrition matters for runners — and why training hard isn't enough if you're not fuelling your body properly.
🏃 Common nutrition mistakes runners make — including some habits that could be holding back performance and recovery.
💪 How nutrition supports recovery — from helping your body repair after running to maintaining energy throughout the day.
💧 The truth about hydration and supplements — what runners actually need and what they may be able to skip.
🍳 Simple healthy meals and habits — practical ideas for people who don't have hours to spend preparing food.
🧠 How to build healthier habits that actually last — without chasing perfection or constantly starting over.
🌍 Ella's bigger mission — her goal of helping 10,000 people live healthier, happier lives and creating 100 Budget Breakfast Nutrition Clubs across Europe over the next 10 years.
This conversation is a great reminder that you don't need to completely overhaul your life to become healthier. Small, consistent choices can make a huge difference—not just to your running, but to how you feel every day.

Whether you're training for your first 5K, preparing for a marathon, or simply trying to feel better and have more energy, this episode is packed with practical nutrition advice you can start using straight away.
🎧 Listen now and discover how better nutrition could help you eat better, recover better, and run better.

And remember: every great run starts with healthy feet—but healthy running also starts with how you fuel the body behind them.
