Good nutrition takes practice. Experimentation is nice. Fringe food groups are cool to read about...but then there's the fundamentals of building a day with the food you can afford and access. There's nothing sexy or unique about mapping out a successful day from the perspective of nutrition, but few endurance athletes actually take the time.  Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for in-depth podcast, this time focusing on nutrition.
