#426 - Jackie Kirchner, RD: Marathon Nutrition, Electrolytes, and Carbo Loading

Jackie Kirchner is a registered dietitian with years of experience and she is on the show to drop some serious knowledge.

In this episode we discuss:

• Carbo loading
• Marathon taper nutrition
• Electrolyte/salt intake pre/during the run
• Food choices in the 5-45 minutes before a marathon

We also play a new game called "Real or Fake" where I pitch outlandish supplement names and Jackie tries to guess if they are real.

Jackie is a registered dietitian who works with enthusiastic, dedicated distance runners who want to fuel their bodies better so they can improve endurance and fitness, increase energy, recover faster, and run better than ever. 

As both a successful distance runner herself (having run dozens of road races and qualifying for the Boston marathon four times!) and an expert in sports nutrition (with over eight years experience as a dietitian), Jackie is taking all her knowledge and experience on all things nutrition science and endurance athletics to bring you the tools you need to feel, fuel, and perform at your best.
