Ep.22 - For the love of food: Why Kelly Newlon cooks for elite athletes & teams

Bob and Dina huddle with Kelly Newlon, a runner, chef, and the head honcho behind RAD, Real Athlete Diets, based out of Boulder Colorado. Kelly (and sometimes her husband, Morgan) work with a variety of elite and professional athletes, teams, and ultra endurance events around the world in varying capacities to serve delicious food with compassion and an eye towards meeting the unique needs of high performing athletes. 

We chat about:

• The origin story for Kelly’s love of running and cooking

• The entrepreneurial evolution of her career in culinary arts, education, and endurance sport

• The pivotal moment of starting RAD Boulder

• Interesting differences between food patterns and preferences of US athletes vs. European athletes

• Kelly’s advice for athletes who are time-strapped

• Some examples of upcoming events in which Kelly plays a key role
