How to Fuel Through Every Phase of Your Training Cycle with Professional Runner & Sports Dietitian, Maddie Alm, RD
Q: What are your go-to strategies for during-run fueling and how do you determine grams per hour?
Start with a baseline of 30-60 g/hour for beginners, progressing up to 60-90 g/hour for more elite endurance efforts; practice tolerances during long runs to avoid GI issues, using a mix of gels and hydration with electrolytes, adjusting to pace, duration, and gut tolerance.
How to Fuel Through Every Phase of Your Training Cycle with Professional Runner & Sports Dietitian, Maddie Alm, RD
Q: How do you handle protein versus carbs throughout the cycle, and does protein ever take the lead?
Protein generally stays in a moderate range (around 1.6-2 g/kg/day, tailored to the athlete) with slightly higher emphasis in off-season or taper for maintenance, while the mid-block focuses more on carbs to support training adaptations and energy availability; foods can provide dual benefits (carbs and protein) to avoid displacing carbs.
How to Fuel Through Every Phase of Your Training Cycle with Professional Runner & Sports Dietitian, Maddie Alm, RD
Q: So how should nutrition evolve across a training cycle, especially for someone ramping up for a big race like NYC?
Base fueling should focus on meeting daily carbohydrate needs, then gradually increase intake as training volume and intensity rise, using a framework of meals and snacks before, during, and after workouts, with attention to hydration and energy balance. In the peak and build phases, prioritize carbohydrates and practice during-run fueling, while protein should support maintenance rather than being the main focus during high-volume blocks.
Fuel or Fiction: The Biggest Running Nutrition Myths with Marathon Nutritionist Kristy Bauman, RD
Q: When should runners start taking gels during a half or full marathon, and how often should they take them?
Take gels early and often, aiming to consume roughly every 30 minutes rather than waiting until you feel fatigued; this helps ensure carbs hit the bloodstream in time to support performance and recovery, especially as fatigue can impair gut tolerance if you wait too long.
How to Be a Faster, Stronger Runner, at Any Age with Claire Bartholic of The Planted Runner
Q: What would you tell someone who feels they're too old to start running?
Start small and reassess ability: begin with easy miles, gradually increase, and use achievable short-term goals like reaching the next mailbox; there are 95-year-old competitors in senior games proving age is not a true barrier when motivated.
