I love your videos and have been a silent supporter for years. I have a BSc in nutrition and I’m almost done with my MSc in sport nutrition. I am also a runner. Gut issues are super common in runners. However there are a couple of things you can do to help, first and foremost is to reduce the amount of fat and fibre you have before your runs. Oats might be great for some but not work for you due to the high content in fiber. Maybe opt for some white toast and jam 1h-1h30 before your runs. Also, when you consume the gels when running, consume them as slowly as possible, taking super small sips (make them last about 20 min). Additionally, there are several strategies that you can employ to “train the gut”, in some of your shorter runs, namely: - training immediately after a meal - consume a large amount of fluids while training - consume high amount of carbs while training - simulate your race nutrition plan -> these are to be used sparely and sometimes, but can help you with gut issues Also, the gels from “Science in Sport” are quite good I hope these tips help!

[@lani_mick]

Congrats on your longest run!! 💕 I’m a beginner runner training for my first half marathon. Love watching you slay running, it’s inspirational 🥹🫶🏼

[@isabellatobiano]

i’m also training for a marathon and i find eating dates really good!! they’re easy to chew and small/light to take. i just put them in a snap lock bag!

[@ConaghKathleen]

i need to try!

[@kirajassens483]

What has really helped me with post-run fatigue is that I run slowly on most runs. really slow. The heart rate should remain in zone 2 the entire time (140 beats per minute for me). If I do over 140 beats per minute, I slow down until my heart rate drops again. At first it feels stupid to run so slow and you feel like it won't help you, but it actually had the opposite effect. I can run longer without my legs getting tired afterwards and have a lower risk of injury. This also made it easier for me to hit the fast paces in my tempo sessions. Love your Videos and seeing you so happy🥰

[@ConaghKathleen]

okay cool!! i definitely need to really slowwww down !!!

[@powerpuffgirls843]

The lens is amazing! Love your videos❤

I have some built in toilet checkpoints all through the Brisbane inner city for just in case lol :-P The Calile hotel, Portside (same building as the Dendy cinemas), Howard Smith Wharves, Gasworks, otherwise generally most hotel lobbies need to have public restrooms!

[@ConaghKathleen]

[@VeronicaCostaF]

You can also find some gym friends or running buddies. I like to do those things solo so that doesn't work for me but it might for you and it's fun (I did have some when I was younger so it might depend on the phase of life your in

[@TaylaJannee]

Sooo proud of you my love ☺️🥹🫶🏽

[@ConaghKathleen]

[@elizabeththompson1525]

Where is the white sweat set from you wore at the end of the video? Love it. Want it!

[@ConaghKathleen]

[@caitlinrowlatt4002]

How do you track how many steps you do on the treadmill with your hands on the desk? Love your videos!

[@ConaghKathleen]

my phone usually!

[@Mikayla1996]

Cliff blok energy chews are what I love on my long runs!! The purple ones are delicious and I swap with the caffeine ones about halfway to give me a boost 😊

[@ConaghKathleen]

i've heard these are good!! i need to try

[@marie-joseeveillette4807]

Quand you comment down what is your new camera on le little stick. Its awesome

[@ConaghKathleen]

it's called dji osmo pocket 3!

[@antoniajelen3856]

Hey Conagh, I work in the supplement store and it is recommended to take L-citrulline while running or doing other endurance sports to keep lactate levels low, which leads to not having pain in the legs and enduring longer. It is often taken in combination with arginine and can also be used with aminos and, for example, dextrose as a drink for a run.🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️ Maybe this information will help you.🥰 I love your videos and greetings from Germany.❤

[@ConaghKathleen]

ooo tysm!! i will check this out!!

[@laurajshep]

Carb load the night before your big run. Like try eat as much as possible for your last meal of the day. This is really important it will give you the fuel you need.

[@jordanalexandra7329]

Girl try swimming for recovery! Feels so good on sore muscles!

[@ConaghKathleen]

omg yes!!

[@fiona6860]

are you still doing the runna gym workouts? and did you decide on the running focus or full body? xx

[@ConaghKathleen]

i am!! i personally do the running focused ones

[@FloField]

What is the new lens your using? Looks great 😊

[@elisabethlarsen2784]

It is summer here (Denmark) but its under 20 degrees and it rains every other day if not more 🙈😂

[@ConaghKathleen]

omg that is literally our winter!!

[@brittanyhamilton3410]

I use baby food squeezes on my long runs work great!

[@ConaghKathleen]

interesting!

[@Abbie29597]

Charlie is iconic ❤😂

[@jazcross]

2 pieces of raisin toast with 15g honey!! game changer!

[@noah-kq1vk]

Omg Charlie is such a cutieeee she has such human eyes 🫶🥹

[@ConaghKathleen]

she is my favourite 🥹

[@rikkelindhardt5047]

Your winter weather, is my summer weather 😅 Living in denmark 🥶

[@elephantscook]

Rottie's look like the cutest dogs! I never understand why people think they're scary!

[@GhostlyMess]

this morning I woke up and thought "man I'm caught up on all of conaghs vlogs, I wish I had one to watch" and boom you upload one ☺️✨ always love your videos, they motivate and inspire me! edit from after watching the whole video: oh my god that new camera looks so good! and it sounds pretty good too. think it was a good investment 😊

[@ConaghKathleen]

yay!!! tysm lovely ❤️

[@candylishx3527]

That attitude is sucha Rottie thing. I think I might finally bite the bullet & find me a Rottie foster. Charlie reminds me sooo much of Abel & I miss having 1 around the house. Again, tysm for including ALLLL the Charles content past few vlogs! I kinda fell behind watching YT for a bit but I'm catching up slowly & loving every bit of it ((:

[@blackstripened]

This vlog made me miss you, Conagh! ❤ I feel like since you've moved to your new house, it's somehow a bit different vibes and maybe you've felt overwhelmed and therefore kinda distant? I've watched and loved your vlogs for years, and I always wish you well. Hope you're okay? I mean this in such a loving and caring way, I'm sorry if it comes out rude (English is my 4th language).. Sending you love from Finland ❤

[@ashleyjames183]

So lucky you get like 24 all day in winter in Australia. It’s so cold in New Zealand 😂 it’s currently 12 degrees and it’s 5pm. You’re doind amazing and hope you’re doing okay beautiful 🫶🏻

[@ConaghKathleen]

so cold!! i'm coming to nz next month and i definitely need to bundle up!

[@ncumisaliwela]

The wide angle is eatiiing👏🏾👏🏾🫵🏾🫶🏾

[@ConaghKathleen]

YESS

[@LaceyJayne934]

Charlie is so beautiful 🥹 I’ve always wanted a roti!

[@ConaghKathleen]

she is the cutest 🥹

[@almaalaska591]

People often cheap out on their lens but it’s the most important part of the camera. I can definitely see the change 👌

[@ConaghKathleen]

definitely!!

[@aphelelemabanga1806]

newspaper works♥️

[@ConaghKathleen]

i need to try it!

[@Slam.my.clam.]

To be honest, it wouldn’t be quite fair to Charlie to let her grow up enjoying the couch only to rip it out from under her. Dogs don’t live forever so if she enjoys the couch then just let her be 😂❤

[@sportsgirlbabe]

Why are you whispering into your phone for?

[@dominikbenz8349]

amazing vidoe i enjoy cool pretty stunning queen
