You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back. -Prefontaine
Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance, by Matt Fitzgerald of Runner's World Magazine, is a great nutritional guide for the endurance athlete looking to improve their performance in ways other than training more. He presents a "5-step plan for endurance athletes."
Step one. Improve your diet quality.
Step two. Balance your energy sources.
Step three. Time your nutrition.
Step four. Manage your appetite.
Step five. Train Right.
I don't want to give anything away in the actual book itself, so you're just going to have to read it yourself! I will say that I love learning about fitness and nutrition, and this book was a gem! I really enjoyed everything it had to offer, and may share some of my newfound wealth of knowledge in later posts. :)
