AMR Trains #40: Taper Nutrition with Ellie Kempton, MSN, RDN
Description
Fall is in the air—which means half marathons and marathons are too!
In this episode, Dimity talks to Ellie Kempton about Taper Nutrition: how to properly fill up your personal fuel tank so you're raring to go on race day.
The two talk about:
—Why taper nutrition should start two weeks—not 24 hours–out from race day;
—The "quick tease" that alcohol and sugar provide (and how to find better substitutes);
—What types of protein are best to eat during race week;
—And the fats that will compliment the taper process by bringing inflammation down even further.
