Milking the Options

March 31, 2021 by Tiffany Swan Leave a Comment

When you venture down the milk aisle of any grocery store, you will likely notice an overwhelming number of options. And those are just the dairy options! For those of us that avoid dairy for any reason, the alt mylks are nearly as overwhelming: sweetened or unsweetened, vanilla, coconut, chocolate, stabilized, natural… it is dizzying. […]

Eating Intuitively

February 28, 2021 by Tiffany Swan 2 Comments

We are innately intuitive eaters.  If you have ever watched a child eat, you have seen this in practice: eat nothing but a slice of cheese for one meal and the next eating as much as the adults at the table.  They are naturally listening to their hunger and satiety cues and ultimately balancing their […]

The Sunshine Vitamin

September 30, 2020 by Tiffany Swan Leave a Comment

Many of us know that getting out for our daily run in the sun is good for our health (and sanity!). But how does the sunshine vitamin help us as athletes? This is the closest that we humans get to plants’ photosynthesis, converting UVB rays to Vitamin D in our liver. However, our skin and […]

Microgreens, Giant Nutrition

August 31, 2020 by Tiffany Swan 1 Comment

You have probably seen micro-greens topping your dishes in restaurants and even lining the grocery shelves. Chefs love them for their punchy flavors, dash of texture, and a nice color to finish a dish. Is it worth the splurge on those little vegetables? What are Microgreens? Microgreen is essentially a marketing term for immature plants. […]

Will Run for Beer

June 28, 2020 by Tiffany Swan Leave a Comment

Beer miles, kegs at the finish line, capping the finish of a long training run with a cool beer, even beer consumed during long races… Drinking (especially beer) is pretty deeply engrained in running culture; but how is it affecting your training? We are generally a group of runners that pride ourselves on both not […]

Avoiding Bonk City

May 31, 2020 by Tiffany Swan Leave a Comment

The other day, I went out for a run that wasn’t particularly long or hard, but I started tired, having had a busy and somewhat stressful workday the day prior.  Plus, it was the warmest day of the season so far.  By mile 5, I was hitting a wall.  I felt like my legs couldn’t […]

DIY Energy Products

April 30, 2020 by Tiffany Swan Leave a Comment

Races are canceled, going to the grocery store requires planning comparable to an ultra, but running is more available than ever.  Make sure you are fueling yourself on your runs to ensure great recovery and maintain a strong immune system. In the early days of my career, I worked at PowerBar as a product developer.  […]

Fueling in the Time of COVID-19

March 31, 2020 by Tiffany Swan 1 Comment

If you are like me, you are taking advantage of the extra hours of free-time and amping up your training.  Maybe you are putting in more time on the trails (social distancing!) or you are starting a new work-out circuit in your home gym.  What does that mean for your fueling?  Especially when the grocery […]

Can Diet Change Your Game?

January 27, 2020 by Tiffany Swan Leave a Comment

Have you seen the documentary, “Game Changers?”  Did it make you want to drop your beloved carnitas burrito in favor of a vegetarian one?   Nearly everyone I have talked to after seeing this movie made some adjustments to their diets.  Most athletes are looking to find the next best thing to propel their performance.  […]
