#28: The Runners Nutrition Playbook: A Nutrition Q&A for Long-Distance Runners

Today's episode is a solo Q+A on nutrition for runners and marathoners. These are a collection of common questions I have been getting recently from talks, clients and social media. I cover:

What are the most important nutrients for marathon runners?
How should I adjust my diet on long runs and race day and days leading up to the race?
What are some common nutrition mistakes that marathon runners make?
How can I stay hydrated during training and racing?
What are the benefits of a plant-based diet for marathon runners/ have you advice for vegan/ vegetarians in general?
How can I use supplements to improve my performance?
Ideas for breakfast food before a race especially when staying at hotel away from normal routine
What to eat / drink post run and general recovery advice?
