The diet of endurance athletes

Matt Fitzgerald, author of the successful title 80/20 Running (Grada 2023) and a specialist in sports nutrition, has spent almost twenty years studying the diets of top professional endurance athletes, who are among the fittest and healthiest sportspeople in the world. Based on his research, he has identified five basic habits essential for maximising the fitness and health benefits of exercise. Most of them contradict the recommendations of popular diets. The book The Endurance Diet describes key strategies for optimal health and performance: eat everything, eat quality, eat a lot of carbohydrates, eat enough, and eat what’s right for you. Whether you want to lose weight, win a race, or become more like an elite athlete, this book is for you.
