The Running Explained Podcast

Sports Dietitian Steph Hnatiuk returns to the podcast for a deep discussion on body composition: what it is, what we really mean when we talk about body composition and "recomposition", and why chasing that ultra-low body fat percentage or certain physique goal might not be helping your running performance!

• What does "body composition" mean?
• Factors that influence body composition
• Why the scale can stay the same while your body composition changes
• Why "leaner" isn't always healthier
• When body recomp & training go together (& when they don't)
• Nutritional timing for body composition
• and more!
