What Should You Eat When Training for runDisney Races?
Season 3 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty
Episode 208 What to Eat Before Long Runs, Race Week, and Recovery as a runDisney Runner runDisney Races
In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali talks about one of the most common questions runDisney runners ask: what should you eat when training for your races?
She explains why there is no single “healthy” meal plan that works for every runner. Using personal stories about her own possible food sensitivities and allergic type reactions, she shows how the same food can work well for one person and be a terrible choice for someone else.
Dr. Ali breaks down how your nutrition should shift depending on your training phase... whether you are building strength, focusing on speed, recovering, carb loading for race week, or fueling long runs.
The big takeaway is that your nutrition should match both your goals and the foods your body actually tolerates... not just what the internet says is “healthy.”
