#44 - Nutrition For Endurance Running


Listen Later

Did you know that January is World Vegan Month, hence the name that Seán can't pronounce "Veganuary"?

Did you know that January is also World Carnivore Month? Where it's a mostly meat-based diet?

And did you know the Muffin Man? Not sure where he factors into this but you'll have a slightly better idea when you listen to today's episode of the podcast.

Carbohydrates are the fuel source for the body. Which makes it surprising that athletes would turn to a low carb diet to help fuel their races. Yet, they are some of the most successful endurance athletes in the world, how is this?

Seán and Eric delve into this today, along with other nutritional aspects to endurance runners including:

 - How to fuel the body before big races such as a marathon
 - What ketogenic diet and ketosis are and why some athletes prefer them for running
 - 40/40/20 Splits
 - The Vegan Diet for runners and potential supplements to take if you're doing it
 - The surprisingly simple meal Eliud Kipchogue ate before his two-hour marathon

And much more
