012. Nutrition Talks #1 with On Pace Wellness | Balanced nutrition for athletes

This is the first episode of our mini series called Nutrition Talks brought to you by Vert.run in collaboration with On Pace Wellness. On Pace Wellness is a company based in Portland, Oregon, which helps endurance athletes to optimize their nutrition for health, wellness and performance. We chat with Wilfredo Benitez, head nutritionist at On Pace Wellness, USATF certified coach and trail runner, about the importance of a balanced nutrition for athletes. How and what we eat have the potential to help make our goals a reality or to impede our training and performance, while potentially reducing our health at the same time. Nutrition plays a major role in the body's performance, including its health. It's important to understand some basics behind nutrition and help the body perform the best it can, whether that be athletically or just functionally. We hope you can find some valuable information and tips for a more aware relationship with food and exercise. Please comment, review and share this episode on social media if you enjoyed it!
