Today, we're chatting with Stephanie Small about Running to Lose Weight. Steph is a Registered Dietician who specializes in helping recreational and competitive athletes. You can find her at Stephanie Small Coaching.com. In this episode, we discuss the role of running in fat loss, how to avoid gaining weight if you're training a lot and how to modify your diet to allow you to lose body fat without compromising your training.
This was a fascinating interview with lots of practical tips and answers to questions that I hear all the time. Stick around until the very end as Steph answered a couple of follow-up questions by email that I've recorded and added to the end of the episode.
