👟April Gear Giveaway: Enter to Win the Brooks Hyperion

April brings a brand new chance to win! We’re giving away a pair of Amy’s (AKA @the_running_dietitian) absolute favorite running shoes–the Brooks Hyperion.
.
For Amy, “these shoes were love at first run. I couldn’t believe how light they felt on my first run with them. It’s hard NOT to hit paces during speed workouts with these shoes.”

With a name inspired by the Greek titan god of light, the Hyperion certainly has a lot to live up to…
.
But with its incredibly light and snappy ride, it’s the ideal shoe for workouts in training or even some racing, if you’re looking for a low-stack, plateless shoe!

Amy started running in junior high when she signed up for cross country. 

• While she continued to run, she didn’t take it seriously until she got to college. 
• When she wanted to lose weight, she started running more. 
• This increase in volume led her to run her first marathon as a junior in college. 

During her first marathon, Amy’s nutritional strategies left a bit to be desired.

• She didn’t realize the importance of intra-race fueling. 
• Confused, she noticed that the race volunteers were handing out gels at mile 17. 
• Needless to say, Amy’s marathon fueling strategy has come a long way since then! 

Amy explains her drastic shift in understanding: 

• “This is when I started to see running as more than just a way to change my weight."
• "I’ve come to realize how good running can feel when you give your body the tools (AKA fuel) it needs to perform."
• "This is why I help other runners–so they don’t make the same mistakes that I did when I first started running.”

Fun fact...
.
Since she started running in her adult life, Amy has completed six marathons and one ultra. She completely fell in love with the ultra community during that race and she’s excited to run another!

Amy’s top tip for runners to avoid under-fueling

• "It’s common for running to decrease your appetite, but don’t let that hold you back from fueling post-run."
• "Grabbing a smoothie or chocolate milk can help your body start the recovery process and be an easier way to get nutrition if appetite is MIA."

Amy’s favorite pre-run fuel? 

• Pop Tarts! “They are high in carbohydrates and easily digestible making them a great choice to fuel your next run."
