Summary

In this episode of Fuelin Sessions, Scott is joined by running coach and writer Mario Fraioli. They discuss his recovery from disordered eating and the "lighter is faster" myth that still lingers in endurance sport, the influence a coach's words can have on an athlete for decades, the super-shoe and fueling revolution behind today's tumbling marathon times, why no endurance champion trains low-carb, and a candid take on doping and the case for more transparent testing. Content note: this episode discusses disordered eating. In the US, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders runs a free, clinician-staffed helpline (allianceforeatingdisorders.com).
