The Eat for Endurance Podcast
The Eat for Endurance Podcast demonstrates the many different ways that athletes fuel themselves, while also highlighting the challenges that so many active people have with their nutrition in real life. Host Claire Shorenstein (MS RD CSSD) aims to inspire and educate listeners through Athlete Nutrition Profiles, aka the "nutrition stories" of recreational and professional athletes, and interviews with fellow sports dietitians on important nutrition topics.

Athlete Nutrition Profile - Ultrarunner and Coach Jes Woods
Want to get in touch? Send Claire a message!
Welcome to Episode 95 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast! I have an Athlete Nutrition Profile for you today, featuring ultrarunner and coach Jes Woods.
You may already be familiar with Jes, especially if you live in NYC. She coaches thousands of athletes through Nike Run Club, Brooklyn Track Club, and Brooklyn Trail Club, and has also worked with boutique fitness studios including Mile High Run Club and Flywheel.
Jes also is a fierce athlete herself. She competed as a triple jumper for nearly a decade, and then discovered distance running after college while working in broadcasting at NBC. She ultimately embraced the ultra running community, started coaching, and turned fitness into a full-time career.
We had a great discussion about her nutrition and how that has changed over time as she transitioned into distance running. We explore how she fuels herself, from the marathon to the 200 mile distance, as well as what she observes and teaches her own athletes. Jes also shares that she hates to cook, and tells us how she keeps herself well-nourished to support her health and very active lifestyle.
I hope you enjoy this episode! And if you do, please remember to share it with your friends, give it a 5-star rating and write a review wherever you listen to your podcasts. Your support is greatly appreciated!
