  • The common reasons runners neglect to fuel, or underfuel, their runs or races
  • The recommendations of carbs per hour
  • The different types of performance fuel options and the importance of individual preferences
  • Common causes of GI distress 
  • How poor race fueling is your number one obstacle to race day success
  • The fueling requirements for a 6:00 marathoner vs a 3:00 marathoner

  • Starla Garcia is a Registered Dietitian and owner of The Healthy Shine, LLC, 2020 Olympic Trials Qualifier, and body and cultural diversity advocate. Her journey to wellness came after battling an eating disorder as a Latina student-athlete during her collegiate years. That experience was the catalyst that set her on the path of intuitive eating and developing a healthy relationship with cultural foods and exercise. Now her story is what fuels her mission to dismantle the restrictive mindset and rules that runners create around diets, exercise, and body image to help them align their nutrition with their performance goals.
