Race Recaps

Interested in learning more about sports nutrition, fueling right without driving yourself crazy, and getting additional sport-specific recipes? Check out my Nutrition for Runners Program (you can get started for free!). It also includes running training plans, as I co-authored it with a running coach!

Also, check out my Sport Nutrition Myth Busting Q&A, which is free to download. It would be perfect to listen to on your next long run, in fact! My Nutrition for Runners co-author Jason and I recorded it together, and we answer and discuss a lot of the typical hot topic running nutrition questions, like:

• How can I eat enough to fuel my runs but still maintain my goal weight?
• What’s the best way to refuel after a tough workout, especially if I have no appetite?
• The top myths about calorie counting, scoring, and tracking percentages

And now — see below for links to my previous race recaps, including my race PRs (personal records – noted in bold and red) and finish times with paces.
