Its not too hard to convince cyclists that they can improve their performance if they drop their weight to an optimum level. However, thats generally as useful as a physician telling a client they need to lose weight and then sending them out the office door. There are endless diet or nutrition books out there, but very few specifically catering to the endurance athlete. Into this void comes Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald.

The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition A Cutting-Edge Plan to Fuel Your Body Beyond the Wallquot - image 4


BY KARA GOUCHER, ELITE RUNNER,
TWO-TIME OLYMPIAN AND FOUR-TIME NATIONAL CHAMPION

I hit the wall pretty hard in my first marathon. It was the 2008 ING New York City Marathon and I thought I was ready for it. The previous year I had won my first half marathon, beating marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe in the process. My training for New York had gone really well. But less than 16 miles into the race my calves started to hurt, and things only got worse from there.

By the 20-mile mark the pain in my legs had climbed all the way up to my hips. When I finally reached Central Park, less than 2 miles from the finish line, I was ready to quit. I even looked for a place where I could pull off the course discreetly, but there were too many spectators, so I kept going.

When I crossed the finish line my first thought was that the race had been a total disaster, even though my third-place finish was the best by an American woman in the New York City Marathon since 1983, and my time of 2:25:53 was the fastest debut marathon ever by an American woman.
