Tired of being told to carb-load and fuel with gels? Let's separate fact from fiction when it comes to runner's nutrition. What's your take on the current trends and recommendations? Do you swear by a particular diet or supplement?
I've always been skeptical of the 'one-size-fits-all' approach to runner's nutrition. What works for one person might not work for another. I've experimented with different diets and found that a balanced, whole-food approach works best for me. I'm not a fan of relying on gels and supplements - they're just not sustainable or healthy in the long run. Let's focus on real food and listen to our bodies, rather than following the latest trends.
I completely agree, whole foods are the way to go for me too. Less processing, more nutrients.

Yeah, it's all about experimentation and finding what works for you. No one-size-fits-all solution.
