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.Get Ellie's Timely Taper Tips + Taper Recipes right here.Join us in Simply Nourished Like a Mother: September 13-November 7, 2021.When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.We appreciate your—and their—support!The final step to better running: Visit currex.us and use code AMR15 for 15% off insoles.Ready for more Training?
