The 1% Better Runner with DLake

This episode we get into that beautifully messy beast - nutrition! Specifically race week nutrition - diving into what we do in the lead up to a race, the week of and during. Hell, we even throw in a few fringe methods too - just to keep it exciting.

Quick note - We are not doctors and do not play doctors on the internet! So please take what we say here as information, not advice!

Too many people overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a decade.

I show smart runners how to perform 1% better daily in their training, racing, careers, and lives.

The truth is, most running info is repetitive. So to make your life easy, I spent the last 11 years reading, watching, talking to experts and doing as much as I could so you don’t have to make the same mistakes as me.

I'm also a 10-Hour Ironman finishing triathlete and sub-3-hour marathon runner.
