Episode Details

This week is a special episode of The Fueling Forward Podcast where you get to hear from the Fueling Forward dietitians, Maddie Alm and Alexa Efraimson. After a listener asked to hear our stories, we decided to interview each other so you can learn more about the dietitians behind Fueling Forward.

In today’s episode we talk about:

• How Alexa got her start in running, going pro right out of high school and running the American junior record in the 1500
• How Maddie went from a walk on to an All-American while at the University of Colorado
• What Alexa struggled with as a pro athlete that led her to discover the field of nutrition and pursue a career as a dietitian
• How working with a dietitian in college helped Maddie learn the importance of fueling for performance, and the changes that inspired her to become a dietitian
• What each of us hope to change when it comes to nutrition for runners, and the runners we work with to help them learn how to fuel for health and performance
• Our answers to the end of episode rapid fire questions!
