Event Overview
You have logged many miles, on trail and treadmill, to get ready. But have you prepared nutritionally? Nutrition will make or break your training and your race. It’s crucial to be both well trained AND well fueled for maximum performance.
With an increasing number of casual runners going out for 26.2 miles, RDs stand to learn some basics about marathon fueling. According to MarathonGuide.com, in 2009, there were approximately 468,000 marathon finishes recorded in the United States—an increase of about 9.9% over 2008 finishes. Women made up 40.5% of finishers in 2009.
Come learn about the importance of your diet and nutrition as you prepare for your next 13.1 or 26.2.
This True Runner Class will be offered by Jamie (Joyner) Cassell MS, RD, LD, HFS
