Health, Energy, Performance by Daniel Weiss

Good nutrition alone will not make you an elite athlete, but bad nutrition will make an elite athlete average. If you want to take your endurance performance to the next level, you need to pay attention to what and when you eat.

Tim Podlogar, BSc, MSc, PhD, joined me to help you understand how to fuel properly for your training and improve your recovery through nutrition. Tim offers nutritional advice to a number of professional, semi-professional and amateur riders.Apart from nutrition he is also interested in exercise physiology, environmental physiology and strength and conditioning. He authored numerous scientific as well as non-scientific articles.
