Jessica Wylychenko is a competitive runner and Registered Dietitian who is based out of Winnipeg but also offers her nutrition services online through her company, Speed & Savoury. Jessica was on the show in August outlining how to fuel for a marathon PR and she took her own advice to heart at the Chicago Marathon, running her way to a 2-minute PR of 2:52:09, which also placed her 9th Canadian female overall.
In this episode we focus on the concept of nutrition periodization, or adjusting what and how much we eat based on the volume or intensity of training. We start by outlining how to approach fueling in the weeks after a goal race, and move into fueling considerations for an indoor track season. We discuss the benefits of tracking macronutrient consumption versus adopting a more visual approach through the concept of an “athlete's plate.” We cover special considerations for older athletes or those dealing with an injury, including how to deal with weight gain.
There is a lot of information packed into this hour and Jessica shares many of her own experiences with training & Injury, which is really valuable.
