#8 - HOW TO NOT HIT THE WALL WITH SIÂN SECC ft. how to fuel, carb load, supplement, negative split + your qs answered

We LOVED this conversation - such a joy to chat to sports nutritionist, host of The Fuelled Runner podcast and founder of Tempo Energy Siân Secc about all things fuelling. This episode is absolute gold and we cover so much, but anyone with a marathon (or other endurance event) coming up will get loads from this. It's now only 2.5 weeks until London Marathon 2025 so give it a listen to make sure you're not hitting that wall - we learned a tonne from Siân so let's get into it!
