• [4:15] Why endurance athletes need to learn to cook smarter, not harder.

• [5:00] When it comes to clean eating and meal prep, it’s important to go for stepwise improvement than instant perfection. Baby steps will be more sustainable than huge leaps. No, despite what laypeople peddling cleanses and meal plans want you to believe, you are not killing yourself by eating some processed food.
