In this episode
Join in while I talk with fellow runner Heather Mayer Irvine about all things running and writing!
She chats about how she got her start in journalism (including self publishing a newspaper at 8 years old) and how she landed her #dreamjob at Runner’s World through Twitter. I ask Heather what goes on behind the scenes at Runner’s World to make sure the nutrition info they are sharing is credible.
We dive into research studies and fad diets, and she shares her favorite story that she’s ever written. Spoiler alert– she couldn’t name just one! Heather discusses what it was like to write The Runner’s World Vegetarian Cookbook, as someone who isn’t a vegetarian!
We both share our experiences with running and what the sport has taught us. This episode is one of my favorites, so definitely have a listen!
