With fall races approaching we wanted to have an episode all about race day nutrition.

So we spoke with Amy Shapiro MS, RD, CDN, the founder and director of Real Nutrition, a NYC-based private practice, and asked her all about that race day, including: WHY is changing your nutrition leading up to a marathon important, HOW do we prepare with liquids and food when it comes to the days before and the day of the marathon, brand name recommendations, bathroom issues, post fueling for maximal recovery, and much more.

Amy is internationally recognized for her individualized, lifestyle-focused approach, which integrates realistic food plans, smart eating habits, and active living. Through encouragement, education, and the right “tricks of the trade”, Amy believes that anyone can achieve their nutritional goals while still enjoying the foods and flavors they crave.
