Marathon Nutrition: Fueling Strategies for your Performance and Weight Management Goals

Marathon season is underway and that makes it the perfect time to
dial in your nutrition and fuelling. We’re huge fans of the team
at Metpro because they use your personal metabolic profile to
make nutrition recommendations to meet your specific goals. Diet
and nutrition has a huge impact on running performance and that’s
why MetPro’s lead dietician, Amber Velasquez, joins us to discuss
how to fuel correctly for your marathon season goals.


Training for a marathon puts a lot of stress on your body and
burns through a lot of energy, which means that you need to fuel
properly if you want to perform at your best. This can be
especially tough because every runner is unique when it comes to
their nutrition needs. Today’s show is all about tailoring
nutrition to your individual needs switch answers to topics
including:


How is metabolism influenced by diet and exercise?

Should you carb load before your next race?

How do the nutritional needs of marathon runners differ from
the general population?

What are signs that you may be under-fueling?

What are some of the craziest food trends on Tik-Tok
according a professional dietician?



We know you’re hungry for some answers so let’s get into our show
on marathon nutrition.

This week’s show brought to you by:


Mushroom Breakthrough


One of the most difficult things about training hard in the
morning is the brain fog and mental fatigue that comes when
you’re trying to get your work day going.
 
I am sure all you morning runners can relate to that feeling of
not being able to focus and get motivated those first few hours
at work.
 
That’s why I was excited when BIOptimizers released its
one-of-a-kind product called Mushroom Breakthrough
 
It’s a powdered blend of 5 potent superfoods including 1.2 pounds
of concentrated mushrooms, which have been shown in research to
enhance memory, focus, processing speed, and more. 
 
It’s the perfect way to not only boost recovery post-run, but
improve mental clarity in the morning without taxing your adrenal
system with caffeine.


You’ll notice the difference in concentration, focus and mood,
especially on those days when morning training really has you
feeling tired and unmotivated.
 
For an exclusive offer go to bioptimizers.com/runtothetop and use
code RUN10 during checkout.
 
And the great thing about BIOptimizers is that you can try it
risk-free with their 365-day money-back guarantee.

Maintaining healthy electrolyte levels will not only improve
performance and endurance on the run, but can help with
preventing headaches, maintaining a healthy weight, and help with
recovery.
