Fuel Smarter: The Runner’s Guide to the Krebs Cycle

In this episode, Dr. Heather takes runners on a simple, practical, and surprisingly fun journey inside the body to explore one of the most powerful performance tools you already use every day: the Krebs Cycle — your natural energy engine.

Whether you’re training for a 5K or grinding toward an ultra, your performance, stamina, and recovery all come back to how efficiently your body can turn food into fuel. In this presentation, we break the science down into real-world language so every runner can finally understand:

✅ How carbs, fats, and proteins become energy
 ✅ Why runners hit the wall — and how to prevent it
 ✅ What your cells are doing during endurance training
 ✅ How to fuel differently for short vs long distances
 ✅ How to avoid mid-run energy crashes and improve recovery

This episode is all about turning science into strategy — so you can fuel confidently and perform at your best.
