THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SPORTS NUTRITION BOOK YOU NEED IN YOUR HANDS

Review by Kate Dzienis

Endurance Sports Nutrition is the Third Edition of Suzanne Girard Eberle’s book on how to fuel the body for optimal performance. As a complete guide to eating smart, training smart and racing smart, Eberle’s publication is packed with nutrition plans for long distance, ultra endurance and multiday events and focuses on the unique nutritional needs of athletes, including runners.


As a comprehensive resource for ultra runners, it covers in-depth strategies for day-to-day consumption (including dining away from home, eating vegetarian and managing food intolerances) as well as sport-specific tips for executing a winning nutrition plan during an ultra event.


About every topic of nutrition is covered in Endurance Sports Nutrition, from meeting energy demands and timing fuel as well as fluids for optimal results, to solving peak performance challenges and meal planning.


Although slightly scientific in language, this publication is an excellent resource to have, and reminds readers of the importance of minding sodium intake, protecting your brain and fighting off flavour fatigue.


Endurance Sports Nutrition is one of the most extensively informative books on the market for ultra runners, and will guide you in selecting optimal foods, drinks and supplements so you can train longer, recover more quickly, avoid injuries, and achieve your performance goals in any endurance endeavour.


This Third Edition includes meal planning for vegetarian athletes and those with food allergies and intolerances as well as profiles, advice from elite endurance athletes, and strategies for avoiding the most common pitfalls of training.
