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.
