Episode Details

Ever wondered if you can just add more miles to cancel out late-night pizza and gas station snacks? Spoiler: you can’t — and that’s exactly what we’re tackling this week on The Back of the Pack Podcast. We kick things off with a quick rundown of the Sunglasses 5K from this past Saturday — sun, fun, and a few shady characters (pun intended). Then we get real about that classic saying: “You can’t outrun a bad diet.” No lectures here — just one back-of-the-pack runner admitting we’ve all tried to cheat the system with junk food and extra miles. From surprise mid-run stomach disasters to the energy crashes we pretend are just ‘bad days,’ we talk about why what we eat really does show up in our shoes. And don’t worry — we keep it real with simple, realistic ways to do just a little better, without turning your life into a kale salad cult. Lace up, grab a snack (maybe not a whole pizza?), and join us for some honest talk about fueling the miles we love.
