Nutrition for RunnersExpert Interviews

Jason Fitzgerald and Anne Mauney, MPH, RD

Copyright © 2015 – All Rights Reserved

IntroductionTHIS PROGRAM IS UNIQUE and unlike most other nutrition & running resources: it includes exclusive interviews with the world’s smartest coaches, dietitians, authors, and runners.

You’ll hear from a wide variety of experts who share their detailed, nuanced nutrition strategies:

✦ An ultramarathoner who’s competed in trail races up to 100 miles

✦ An author of a “definitive” running book, who has coached Olympians and is now working for one of the largest running companies in the United States

✦ Nutrition counselors to professional sports teams (both the NBA and MLB)

✦ The leading registered dietitian in the country, author of some of the best-selling nutrition books of the last 20 years

✦ And more…

Remember to adapt the interview content to your specific needs. But notice the common themes, trends, and answers among the variety of experts.

Interestingly, they all have similar views on nutrition for runners despite being coaches, dietitians, or runners. Their views are in alignment with this program’s core principles (which we did not plan!) because they are tested, proven, and work for the vast majority of runners.
