Unlock your athletic potential with Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes, the ultimate guide to fueling your performance in running, cycling, triathlon, and swimming. In this newly updated fourth edition, Monique Ryan, a renowned nutritionist with more than 30 years of experience advising elite athletes and pro sports teams, demystifies high-performance nutrition, offering clear and practical advice based on the latest research and real-world expertise.
Ryan addresses the fundamental questions of endurance sports nutrition for everyone, from accomplished competitors to total beginners: what to eat and drink, how much, and when. From training to racing, recovery to weight management, she provides tailored strategies to optimize your performance and achieve your goals. Drawing on rigorous scientific studies, Ryan dispels common myths surrounding supplements and ergogenic aids while providing a balanced perspective on practices like fat loading and glycogen-depleted workouts.
Recognizing that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition, Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes delves into the specific dietary needs of runners, cyclists, triathletes, and swimmers, highlighting the nuances that can give you a competitive edge. Whether you're tackling a sprint or a marathon, a criterium or a mountain bike race, Ryan offers tailored nutrition plans to suit your event's demands.
In addition to practical advice, this comprehensive guide includes valuable reference material such as a glycemic index, a glossary of essential vitamins and minerals, and a comparison of sports nutrition products. With Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes, you'll discover how smart nutrition can elevate your performance, whether you're aiming for a personal best or embarking on your first endurance challenge.
