Nutrition Resources for Athletes

Nutrition and fueling can be challenging for anyone. As athletes, particularly endurance athletes, our needs are different than the average sedentary person; and it can be confusing to sort through nutrition recommendations for the general population as compared to fueling for athletic performance.
Your coach is here to help you with the basics, particularly on fuel and hydration during your workouts, long runs, and races - fueling IS part of your training.
But if you feel like you could use more guidance, especially on your daily nutrition, we highly recommend working with or learning from a Registered Sports Dietitian.

Below, you'll find a list of free resources first - podcasts are one of the best, as they are your most-current form of easy-to-digest information! Each show we recommend features registered dietitians who work specifically with endurance athletes, and share their hard earned expertise for free, for YOU!
Below that, you'll find a list with website and contact information for dietitians that we personally recommend.

Podcasts on Nutrition for Endurance Athletes:
-The Fueling Forward Podcast with Maddie Alm
(This is a personal favorite. Maddie is an elite and  former professional track and road athlete. Her episodes are direct, short, and clear - offering both specific recommendations and the "why" behind its importance.)

-The Eat for Endurance Podcast with Claire Shorenstein
(Conversations with both fellow dietitians and inspiring athletes to share common challenges, struggles, and successes through fueling; with easy to understand and implement recommendations.)

-Fuel for the Sole with Meghann Featherstun and Believe in the Run
(Each episode focuses on one or two specific topics with recommendations and information for understanding. Q&A style hosted by "regular runners" with practical advice from one of America's favorite road-running sports dietitians.)

-Your Diet Sucks with Kylee VanHorn and Zoe Rom
(Understanding food and diet culture, history, marketing, messaging, and how to weed through the noise to find the right advice and approach for you. This pod will help you think a little deeper about the messaging you absorb.)
