"This course guides learners through the often complex subject of nutrition for runners, simplifying it and making it easy to understand. It encourages learners to think about their own situations & plans and to apply the learning in this context. Most importantly, it highlights the importance of nutrition to runners, who often see this subject as secondary to their physical preparation. Following this course, runners are left under no illusion that their nutritional strategy is every bit as important as their running plan."
“When I first started training for a marathon, I really didn’t understand how important my nutrition was going to be. I thought, maybe I might need to eat a bit more and that was it! This course has literally taught me everything I need to know. The information is fantastic. The detail in the tables and charts show you everything you need to think about. I highly recommend that anyone who is taking on a running challenge should take a look at this. If the base of your nutrition is not there, you are setting yourself up to fail straight away! I love the way this course has made me look at my daily nutrition and has made me make changes already! I now plan what I am going to eat and when I am going to eat, I make sure it fits around my home life and my training plan.”
