    In gratitude to the people in my life who have and continue to support me in all of my pursuits: my parents Peri and Mickey Wallack; my husband Russ; our children Cooper, Ryder, and Mia; my sister Rachel Wallack Cooperman; my spirit sister Nicole SinQuee; and lifelong friends Michelle Taylor, Elyse Cohen, Elisa MacPherson, Sarah Kavanagh, and Stephanie Galinkin. It is because of your support that this book and all of my other accomplishments have been possible.

    CONTENTS
    1. Age is only a number. Masters athletes continue to compete and participate in sport in growing numbers. Masters athletes may be grouped according to age, but that doesnt mean they have to slow down.
    2. Aging may bring wisdom, but it can also bring physiological changes that affect strength, maximal oxygen uptake, metabolism, bone health, sleep, and more.
    3. No diet can make you immortal, but research suggests that smart nutritional changes can help you manage and possibly prevent diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, and cancer.
    4. We all know how to eat, right? But how are we to know how our foodchoicesaffect long-term overall health and sport performance in our ever-changing food landscape?
    5. Carbohydrate is key for energy during training or competition and for recovery. Learn to match your carbohydrate intake to your sport and goals, choose carbohydrates that fit your needs, and optimize intake for peak performance.
    6. Activity and adequate protein intake keep muscles strong for healthy aging and impressive performance. Learn to time protein intake for maximum effect before, during, and after a training session or competition.
    7. Dont be afraid. Dietary fat is a key part of a healthy diet for Masters athletes. Learn to incorporate it into your meals and snacks for optimum health.
    8. Which supplements have scientific backing and which are a waste of money? Look past the hype to discover which supplements might be worth trying and which ones to leave behind.
    9. Eight glasses of water a day, right? Well, maybe not. Many factors influence fluid needs, including environment and activity level. Wade through the science to learn what to consume and when to consume it to keep tissues hydrated and thirst at bay.
    10. Tough competition and hard training can lead Masters athletes to unhealthy eating behaviors that jeopardize their health and sport goals. Early recognition and intervention are key to successful recovery from disordered eating and eating disorders.
    11. Is carbohydrate loading necessary? How much fluid and protein should you take in? Learn to prepare your body for competition by feeding it what it really needs.
    12. Proper fueling on the day of competition leads to better performances and happier, healthier Masters athletes at the finish line.
    13. After the competition, you need to feed and rehydrate your cells for proper recovery. After all, theres always the next training session or competition to look forward to.
    PREFACE

    When I stood at the line for my very first running race at the age of 8, I was understandably nervous. All I could think about was going out fast, staying strong as I ran all the way around the track, winning one of the trophies I could see sitting on a table beside the track, and making my parents proud as they cheered and supported me from the sidelines.
