Nutrition for the Endurance Athlete
Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 9:48PM After a few recent conversations about nutrition and fueling before, during and after an endurance race, I thought it time to do a post again about the importance of proper nutrition for endurance athletes. We believe a Paleo diet will help you achieve optimal training results and also know that for you ironmen and women and ultra runners we may need to tweak some things. For quick guide to Paleo for Athletes - borrow my book or check out the guide that covers the athlete’s 5 stages of daily eating relative to exercise:
Stage I: Eating Before Exercise
Stage II: Eating During Exercise
Stage III: Eating Immediately After
Stage IV: Eating for Extended Recovery
Stage V: Eating for LongTerm
BTB Endurance Programming: Week of January 29

Is there a glossary for these terms somewhere? I've looked I swear.
What term? RPE? You can find the RPE scale on the left side under BTB Endurance Resources. RPE stands for Rating of Percieved Exertion. If I missed the mark, just clarify and I try and help.
Awesome work today, Andrew.
We missed you this AM Sunny but hope to see you soon!!
