Marathon season is underway and that makes it the perfect time to dial in your nutrition and fuelling. We’re huge fans of the team at Metpro because they use your personal metabolic profile to make nutrition recommendations to meet your specific goals. Diet and nutrition has a huge impact on running performance and that’s why MetPro’s lead dietician, Amber Velasquez, joins us to discuss how to fuel correctly for your marathon season goals.

Training for a marathon puts a lot of stress on your body and burns through a lot of energy, which means that you need to fuel properly if you want to perform at your best. This can be especially tough because every runner is unique when it comes to their nutrition needs. Today’s show is all about tailoring nutrition to your individual needs switch answers to topics including:

• How is metabolism influenced by diet and exercise?
• Should you carb load before your next race?
• How do the nutritional needs of marathon runners differ from the general population?
• What are signs that you may be under-fueling?
• What are some of the craziest food trends on Tik-Tok according a professional dietician?

We know you’re hungry for some answers so let’s get into our show on marathon nutrition.

This week’s show brought to you by:

Mushroom Breakthrough

One of the most difficult things about training hard in the morning is the brain fog and mental fatigue that comes when you’re trying to get your work day going.

I am sure all you morning runners can relate to that feeling of not being able to focus and get motivated those first few hours at work.

That’s why I was excited when BIOptimizers released its one-of-a-kind product called Mushroom Breakthrough

It’s a powdered blend of 5 potent superfoods including 1.2 pounds of concentrated mushrooms, which have been shown in research to enhance memory, focus, processing speed, and more.

It’s the perfect way to not only boost recovery post-run, but improve mental clarity in the morning without taxing your adrenal system with caffeine.

You’ll notice the difference in concentration, focus and mood, especially on those days when morning training really has you feeling tired and unmotivated.

For an exclusive offer go to bioptimizers.com/runtothetop and use code RUN10 during checkout.

And the great thing about BIOptimizers is that you can try it risk-free with their 365-day money-back guarantee.

LMNT

Maintaining healthy electrolyte levels will not only improve performance and endurance on the run, but can help with preventing headaches, maintaining a healthy weight, and help with recovery.
