Review

“Jesse’s unique approach to nutrition combines an engineer’s mind-set with extensive athletic experience. He has researched and organized everything the endurance athlete needs to improve his or her daily nutrition choices and habits. The result is a detailed set of principles that are effective and easy to follow. I have seen the effects on my own personal performance (18-minute IRONMAN PR of 9:27 that took first place in the men’s 35 to 39 age group at IRONMAN Texas 2012) as well as with many of my athletes. Don’t miss this chance to unlock your inner potential!”
—Patrick McCrann, 22-time IRONMAN finisher and cofounder of Endurance Nation
 
“Fueling is one of the misunderstood aspects of training for and racing in endurance events. Knowing that you need to eat and drink to keep yourself going is not enough; it’s about a strategy for strategically eating and drinking the right amounts of the right things at the right times to optimize performance and enhance recovery. Jesse’s detail-oriented approach to fueling, which he shares in this book, will be a game-changer for runners and triathletes looking to take their performances to the next level.”
—Mario Fraioli, Olympic-level marathon coach
 
“The Endurance Training Diet & Cookbook contains a wealth of knowledge that athletes of any skill set can benefit from. It has a perfect combination of education, knowledge, tips, and easy-to-make recipes. As an elite athlete, I am always looking for healthy recipes that are simple to prepare, nutrient dense, and taste good, too. This will be a great addition to my cookbook collection.”
—Linsey Corbin, IRONMAN American Record Holder, 5-time IRONMAN champion, and 5-time 70.3 champion
