Swim, Bike, Run, Eat!
Sports Nutrition gives age-groupers and competitive athletes the tools they need to enhance their performance, manage their fuel, maintain their weight and maximize their energy. Often dubbed as the 4th event in triathlon, proper nutrition can be the difference between a strong finish and a disappointing or painful DNF. From pre-workout to recovery, selecting the right foods impacts the newbie 5K-runner, first time marathoner, sprint distance triathlete and an Ironman World Champion. At any speed and training level, a workout or event becomes an eating contest—those that have the energy to excel, will!
“My training diet, especially during recovery, was the difference between being an age-grouper and a three-time Ironman World Champion,”
Peter Reid, Ironman World Champion.

I was chased by a lawn mower yesterday. Now, it’s not all that uncommon for me to be chased by something while running. I’ve been pursued by dogs, deer, opossum, Canadian geese, and, of course, the ever-present highschool kids who think it’s hilarious to drive along side a runner yelling “Run, Forrest! Run!” Over the… - My life belongs to Ironman…
Do you ever feel like Ironman and triathlon training is taking over your life? This morning when I woke up, my husband asked me what was on tap for this weekend. “A 5k race tonight, a long run on Saturday and then a long ride on Sunday” was my reply.

Fall has officially arrived and to many that means marathon season is here. I am assured of this as I prepare for one last jog before tomorrow’s big Chicago marathon. For many of our readers, race day brings excitement and also worry- what should I eat? when should I eat? what should I wear? and… - What America Eats
Surveys concerning our nation’s nutritional shortfalls abound but I don’t need some randomized, controlled-trial survey to tell me what America eats. I already know because I run. I run in the afternoons, I run in the evenings, and, because my schedule comands it, I run in the mornings on garbage day. Now this kind of…
