Long distance runners require a greater number of calories and carbohydrates, and it's easy to do this in an unhealthy way. In this workshop, join Registered Dietitian and CPT for tips on how to boost your calories and carb intake healthfully in order to maximize your training, improve your performance on race day, and recover better and faster.
