If you work with runners, you already know the conversation. They come to you because they’ve been following their training plan with no issues, but gastrointestinal distress keeps derailing their long runs or races. There are so many contributors to GI upset, though, that it can be tough to find a sports nutrition resource for them that properly addresses everything. That’s where this runner’s gut training guide comes in!
This is a non-branded, fully editable resource. You can use is as a full e-book for your clients, or it can be broken up into individual sports nutrition handouts based on the GI topics you want to focus on. Every page is editable so you can add your name and branding, as well as adjust any recommendations or remove any topics that don’t fit your nutrition approach.
Purchasing will help you save time in practice and allows you to provide an at-home resource for your clients to ensure their greater understanding and success.
