In a recent survey of endurance athletes, 75% said they were concerned about their weight. That’s because cyclists, runners, and triathletes know that leaner athletes are faster athletes. Leaner athletes waste less energy, burn less oxygen, dissipate heat faster, and even gain more fitness from every workout.
The Racing Weight Series, Matt Fitzgerald’s best-selling weight management program for athletes, introduced 6 easy steps that help athletes zero in on their fastest weight. Now Fitzgerald and dietician Georgie Fear offer Racing Weight Cookbook, a cookbook of the best foods for athletes who want to get leaner and faster.
