    139 | Fueling Slow Long Runs, Best Types of Collagen and Diet Coke Studies

    25/08/2026 | 38 mins.
    This week on Fuel for the Sole, we're talking about fueling for slow, long runs and how that relationship with fueling shifts in the endurance space. We also answer a listener question on collagen — specifically, which types are actually worth taking as an athlete. And finally, we dig into that study making the rounds claiming daily artificial sweetener intake (about what you'd get from a can of diet soda) is linked to significantly faster cognitive decline compared to lower intake.
