Fuel for the Finish Line

For runners, being methodical about training is crucial. Stretching. Warming up properly. Pacing yourself. But good nutrition has also been proven to boost performance.

JWU Charlotte’s Athletic Performance Cuisine class recently collaborated with the men’s and women’s Cross-Country teams to see if a nutritionally tailored menu could help push each team member to their personal best times.
