The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition: A Cutting-Edge Plan to Fuel Your Body Beyond ""the Wall""
Matt Fitzgerald
Almost everyone who gets hooked on running aspires to run at least one marathon, which is seen as the ultimate challenge. This reputation is deserved, but three out of four marathon participants “hit the wall” or slow down significantly in the second half of the race, challenging their goal to finish. Hitting the wall in a marathon is essentially a nutritional, or metabolic, problem: the runner simply runs out of energy. Author Matt Fitzgerald is a sports nutritionist and nutrition writer, and spends a lot of time talking to and educating runners about nutrition. There is an evident need for a comprehensive and authoritative resource that teaches runners of every level the most cutting–edge and proven ways to fuel their bodies in training and on race day to achieve their best possible marathon or half–marathon performance. The New Rules of Marathon and Half Marathon Nutrition: A Cutting-Edge Plan to Fuel Your Body Beyond The Wall is that resource.
