    Great information, easy to digest!
    I love how Claire presents information. I can listen to her podcast and learn new things with each episode.
  • SLS Chance
    Awesome RD and super informative!
    Cannot recommend Claire and her podcast enough! It’s super informative and digestible way to learn more about sports nutrition as an endurance athlete.
  • love it! ❤️❤️
    Such a Great podcast!!!
    I came across this podcast when Amanda Katz shared her episode and I absolutely love it! Thank you for all that you do!
  • HealthKkm
    Love this podcast!
    Always fun stories from athletes and good info from other professionals!
  • Mary Pagones
    So glad I found this podcast
    Wow! A running nutrition podcast that has thoughtful interviews, without a narrow ideological focus on a particular diet type or any shilling of specific products. The “there are many ways to fuel” philosophy is so welcome.
  • RunForLong
    Well done!
    Shows are always well done, with interesting guests and a lot of nutrition knowledge. I hope you can continue to share these podcasts.
  • bigfan912
    Take Sarah Currie with a grain of salt.
    Claire is a wealth of excellent knowledge but the episode with Sarah Currie was painful to listen to. Many of Currie’s theories are the groundwork for disordered eating.
  • plmsaq
    Informative, interesting and fun to listen to
    Great interview with a lot a different professionals. I love listening to podcasts about food and nutrition and this podcast ticks those boxes! Great work and keep it up!
  • Nicolejl23
    Great, informative podcast!
    Love the practical information that this podcast provides. Interesting guests and great questions from Claire. Keep the episodes coming!
  • Chris1011121314
    She talks TOO much!!
    I LOVE Matt and was excited to see this podcast. I was totally disappointed by how much the interviewer talked about herself. I though this pod cast was supposed to be about him! Also, the questions were WAY too long. She’d ask a question, wouldn’t let him answer and the go on and on with the “question”. MANY of the questions were lost in her ramblings. Lastly - she interrupted him and talked over him a LOT!! The info Matt had to share was golden. I’m going to find another pod cast with Matt to hear him talk.
  • Runningfromweathee
    Binge on this!
    Loving these podcasts and looking forward to more! Really appreciate Claire’s perspective and the great guests she has on.
  • NYCdream1
    Eat and have fun out there!
    If you’re looking for a balanced perspective on nutrition, great stories from athletes, and honest sharing on all things food and endurance, this is it!
  • Juniper in Durango
    Awesome guests, good topics, needs better questions and time for answers
    I really want to give this podcast more stars as someone interested in a lot of these topics, a student working towards a masters in nutrition and a long-time athlete. Positives: the podcast host seems to be knowledgeable and brings on some awesome guests! However, my big issue (and a huge negative for me) is that the podcast host doesn’t let the guests talk more, especially other dietitians and nutritionists. The host will often ask them a question but then go in and directly answer her own question or add a bunch of other caveats and thoughts to show that she already knows the answer or just outright answer the question herself so that the guest is just left with basically agreeing with her and not saying much. Just let the other professionals talk too and let them go into their specific fields of study or focus!! When the podcast host does want to do an episode where she just discusses her knowledge of a certain topic, then just do that and don’t bring on a guest (which she does do in some episodes and that’s great). My recommendation is that the host allow for the guests to talk more and let the questions remain broad so that it gives the guests some space to answer it in their own way.
  • Ultra Jeff from Chicago
    Great ultrarunner’s resource
    The podcasts have great honest and accurate advice on nutrition, hydration, and recovery that all ultrarunners can use. There are a ton of tips and advice that newbies as well as very experienced runners can learn from instead of finding out the hard way.
  • J26C
    Practical Advice in a Fun Package!
    Claire and her guests offer interesting, practical, and inspiring insight for athletes who want to compete, but have real lives.
  • bimturba
    Nice

  • BarbEisnet
    Tina Muir’s episode
    Hi there, Great episode with Tina Muir. 😀 I love her authentic voice and her pod cast is a good one. Thank you for bringing her on your podcast. I’m new to it and now I just subscribed.
  • Mississippi shopper

  • LukeyWest
    Running my first marathon
    I learn so much from every podcast and have been experimenting and trying g some of the information shared. Thank you - these podcasts alphabet been instrumental in helping build my confidence. Loved listening to Matt Wilpers.
  • nancyhcrich
    Great info & presentation
    Thoughtful questions, solid credentials, no annoying music or fake laughter - a standout in the crowded podcast marketplace where most offer lots of noise and little substance. Shorenstein and her guests are genuine and smart. Can’t wait for more episodes!
