In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles one of the most common fueling mistakes she sees: waiting for hunger to tell you it's time to eat.

She breaks down why carbohydrates are your body's go-to energy source and why slow and back-of-the-pack runners should be fueling on every single run, no matter how short.

Dr. Ali also explains why fueling should be based on time on your feet instead of miles, and shares her own simple system for fueling from the very first walk break.
