Book excerpt: Good nutrition is an important facet of good health, and good nutrition is even more important for runners. Whether running a 5-minute mile or a 15-minute mile, your body needs the right fuel for performance, recovery, and overall health. In Run. Walk. Eat., you have the best nutritional guidelines for eating for training and performance. Olympian and running coach Jeff Galloway and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Carissa Galloway break down nutrition to provide you with simple changes that not only improve performance, but also lead to improved lifelong eating habits. They offer a nutritional education that puts you, the runner, in charge of your food choices so you can train harder, perform better, and recover faster. Those runners with additional weight-loss goals are also given weight-loss strategies. To help you improve your nutrition and performance, the authors have included meal plans, shopping lists, 21 recipes, and 8 videos accessed through QR codes that further explain nutrition and recipe prep. This nutrition guide is meant to accompany Jeff Galloway's proven Run Walk Run® Method and can be incorporated into any run-walk-run training program – making it a must-have for all runners seeking to run-walk-eat right!
