In this weeks episode of the Let's Talk Fast podcast, I will discuss that question...

For anyone who has been running for any length of time, running a new PB is a feeling that as a runner you LIVE for!!!

From the VERY outset, I want to be clear with one overriding point... The foods that I mention in this podcast do NOT have some sort of magical power to them, that will see them melt fat from your thighs, belly and body in general.
