Hi! Can anyone recommend a good plan / author / book on nutrition for marathon training?  A good general running nutrition information source would help as well. Many thanks, Rae

for Health (and injury) already. Yeah, I did spot that. But thought a specific Nutrition category would be beneficial rather than mixing it up with injuries, or using the training/general forums. Good idea Would this category include debates about supplement

not a bug, more an idea/suggestiondon't know if this has been asked before..... would it be possible to have a 'nutrition' section of the forums (like we have for events and gear)?i'm just thinking it would be nice to have all the nutrition

?Thanks, Rachel I've just read the book Nutrition for Marathon Running - which has plenty of general advice, not just specific for marathon running. Tends towards the science of nutrition rather than the recipe end of the continuum.Hope this helps and good luck

Can anyone recommend a good general sports nutrition book.My eating habit is 'when I'm hungry' and 'what I fancy'.I know I'm generally low on iron, but don't think I know much about food or eat properly for the training I do.Good reference guide

for me, taking into account the number of calories I need in relation to the training I do, and my lifestyle generally, including wheat intolerance, etc.I did see a nutritionalist previously, but she seemed to have no idea about sports nutrition

but not sure re: general nutrition with sports element, or one with sport as main focus. Premier Fitness offer both (just looked it up). Diploma in Optimum Nutrition or Diploma in Sports Nutrition. Website says the two courses are largely similiar in content
