Whether it’s your first race or your fiftieth, what you eat in the week leading up can make or break your performance.

You’ll learn:

Why your training should double as your nutrition testing ground

The biggest race-day nutrition mistake to avoid

How to fuel with whole foods instead of junk carbs

The simple hydration metric every racer should know

And how small choices — like your caffeine timing — can impact race-day energy

If you’re serious about showing up strong, clear-headed, and fueled for the finish, this one’s worth a listen.
