Description

Endurance requires more than physical training. You need to fuel your body to optimize your training and be at your best on event day. Practical Fueling for Endurance Athletes delivers the practical, science-based information and strategies you need for long-term health and superior performance in your sport.

Kylee Van Horn--registered dietitian, endurance athlete, and coach--will help you navigate the challenges of endurance sports with the following:

Essential nutrition concepts that aren't directed at weight loss
The smart use of supplements
Strategies for developing your ideal personal nutrition plan
Unique nutrient needs of female athletes, including during pregnancy and menopause
Plant-based fueling
Special dietary needs
Planning meals and snacks

You'll learn to design, test, and implement sport-specific nutrient intake for before, during, and after your workout or event to ensure your body has the right amount of energy at the right time.

Throughout, you will find checklists, charts, and 28 easy-to-make recipes to help you take in adequate and appropriate nutrients for your unique needs. Get inspiration from the stories and strategies shared by endurance athletes such as Camille Herron, Sage Canaday, Nicole Mericle, and many others, showcasing how their nutrition plans fueled their success.

No matter what endurance sport you train for--running, cycling, swimming, skiing, rowing, obstacle course racing, or something else--Practical Fueling for Endurance Athletes will equip you to reach your next personal best!
