The first edition of Racing Weight released in 2009.
The first edition of Racing Weight released in 2009 was the first weight management program for cyclists, triathletes, runners, and swimmers. Racing Weight offered athletes 5 simple steps to get lean and get faster.
Three years later, new research and new weight management practices of elite athletes prompted author and certified sports nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald to update and improve this best-selling book.
Here’s what’s new in the new second edition of Racing Weight released this month:
Get Lean, Go Faster: Fitzgerald explores in greater detail the several ways that getting lean improves endurance performance.
