Synopsis

From basic tenets of training to nutrition guidelines, this is the first resource for runners to fully integrate nutrition with training for a complete and systematic pre-race plan. “A must for marathoners”(Library Journal).

Every year, roughly 2 million people participate in marathons and half marathons in the United States, and, no matter what level they are, every one of these runners has likely hit “The Wall,” running out of muscle fuel in the final miles and slowing down precipitously. This setback and
other common running disappointments are nutritional (or metabolic) in nature. In The New Rules, renowned fitness journalist and training coach Matt Fitzgerald cuts through the myths, distilling the most up-to-date science to help runners overcome the universally experienced nutritional
barriers that prevent success in the marathon and half marathon.

Fitzgerald’s powerful and easy-to-use tools will enable runners of all levels to attain their ideal racing weight, calculate their precise daily energy needs, and formulate a custom nutrition plan.

This audiobook contains a supplemental PDF.

Probably the most useful & straightforward book I've ever read about nutrition specific to runners. Also, lots of great information that I hadn't seen before. Best of all, everything is based on current scientific evidence, not folk wisdom or outdated facts "everybody knows" from fifteen years ago.......more

The new rules are "eat more fat" and "run more but go slower". I can get behind both those rules.......more

Goodreads review by Becky on December 31, 2021

I've really been trying to develop a good nutrition plan for running so I got this book from the library. It really gets into the nitty gritty with nutrition, and I think I may have to start smaller, but I appreciate the information and perspective here. It's definitely written for more competitive/......more
