This was a great chat with my friend + fellow RD - Dana Sowards. Dana is a sports dietitian and works with high performing endurance athletes. Topics discussed:

-Dana's history of recovering from an eating disorder, being an athlete + becoming an RD

-Resistance/strength training for endurance athletes

-Benefits of lifting, how to get started if you aren't already + lifting around your training schedule

-Periodization of training through different seasons

-Why rest is important & why more training isn't always better

-Deloads - what they are and how to incorporate them into your training blocks

-Supplements - the good, the fringe and the overrated

+ so much more in-between.

I loved this chat and I know you will too!
