#81: Supplement savvy - what runners should know when considering supplementation
About this episode
Today I talk about supplements, approaching them in three different groups to assess whether they are required, or if they even move the needle of performance at all.
I'll go through the supplements I do use but I also urge you to find the supplements that work for you and seek medical advice where appropriate.
Finally, I discuss how the placebo effect can make it seem that supplements work and why you should be wary when people make bold claims about the pros of certain supplements.
