Runners often overfuel and underfuel in the ultra running races because its very difficult to dial in their nutrition specifically to fit their big running efforts. But this elite running nutritionist has a lot of tips to help you diagnose your running nutrition problems and solve them.
Jesse Rich is a coach, nutritionist, and ultrarunner based in Salt Lake City, Utah. He brings a great perspective to nutrition and is one of the most honest brokers I've seen in the nutrition space.
- Nutrition is as valuable as training for race success.
- Many runners are under fueling, impacting their performance.
- High carb intake can significantly improve race outcomes.
- Diet quality affects recovery and overall running performance.
- Alcohol can hinder recovery and sleep quality.
- Real food alternatives can be cost-effective for runners.
