AMR Trains #40: Taper Nutrition with Ellie Kempton, MSN, RDN

Fall is in the air—which means half marathons and marathons are too!
In this episode, Dimity talks to Ellie Kempton about Taper Nutrition: how to properly fill up your personal fuel tank so you're raring to go on race day.
The two talk about:
—Why taper nutrition should start two weeks—not 24 hours–out from race day;
—The "quick tease" that alcohol and sugar provide (and how to find better substitutes);
—What types of protein are best to eat during race week;
—And the fats that will compliment the taper process by bringing inflammation down even further.
