Endurance and elite athletes who run, cycle, or swim need a year-round nutrition plan just as much as they need a yearround approach for their physical training. Nutrition Periodization for Endurance Athletes thoroughly explains the role of water, supplements, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. It will help any athlete to understand how nutrition should be a vital part of their training, offering concrete advise on what, how much, and when to eat based on where the athlete is at any given time in the physical training cycle.
