What GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs Do to Your Running Performance | Extra Mile

About this episode

<p>If you lose 5kg, does that make you a better runner?</p><br><p>Not necessarily. Spencer Matthews and Oli Patrick unpack why what you lose matters more than how much, and why dropping body weight doesn&#39;t automatically translate into better performance.</p><br><p>For runners, trying to get lighter while trying to get faster can mean chasing two competing goals. From losing muscle and under-fuelling to the rise of GLP-1 drugs, this episode asks a more important question: are you losing weight, or are you losing what you need to run well?</p><br><p>Paula Radcliffe is an ambassador for Children with Cancer and the host of Paula&#39;s Run Club, which is. available on YouTube and via all podcast providers: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@paulasrunclub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@paulasrunclub</a></p><br><p>Heights 👉 Get 20% off your first month of any subscription at <a href="https://highpfrmc.com/UT_Heights_AU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://highpfrmc.com/UT_Heights_AU</a> and use untappedpod at checkout</p><br><p>Robinhood 👉 Head to <a href="robinhood.com/untapped" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">robinhood.com/untapped</a> to get started and claim your free stock.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
