Great writing, Allison! Love the words of wisdom — as well as the research to back them up (too often missed, unfortunately).

I hope you’re OK with me referencing my own reflections on this topic: https://medium.com/runners-life/hot-rodding-with-vegetable-oil-how-what-runners-eat-critically-determines-their-success-f755f307f3af .

Getting the right nutrition and sleep are often more important than exercise in the pursuit of ‘health,’ a fact that most of us (runners or not) don’t like to admit. When we imaging trying to push our system when it isn’t being fueled the right way, we can better realize that we’ll be doing more damage than good?

Again, thanks for your writings. With articles like these 2019 is better poised to be a year of health!
