I’m going to break down 7 nutrition myths that are especially prevalent among endurance athletes.
These myths also exist in the strength training world, but they’re particularly pernicious for people who run, jog, swim, cycle, or do any sort of endurance training.
These people know that nutrition is key to performance. Unfortunately, while some advice out there is good, a lot of nutrition advice is just flat-out nonsense.
So in this episode of the podcast, I’m going to lay some of the worst offenders to rest.
