Looking to run a spring marathon or half marathon - here are a few favorites

As a sports nutritionist, I spend too many counseling hours resolving weight concerns of runners (and other athletics). Females and males alike come to me, trying to figure out how to lose weight. The eat less and move more paradigm doesn't always work. Weight is more than a matter of will power.

Believe it or not, eating a good sports diet can be simple. Yet too many runners have created a complex and confusing eating program with good and bad foods, lots of rules, and plenty of guilt. Let's get back to the basics and enjoy performance-enhancing fueling with these simple ABC's for winning nutrition.

Hopefully you are doing well and looking forward to the spring and you are able to get in some running this winter to test your fitness in an upcoming race.

The staff of RUNOHIO would like to wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving.
