ep. 28 | Fueling the Love of Nordic Skiing with Lizzie Larkins

jackson long January 22, 2020

Nordic, AKA cross-country skiing, is one of the toughest endurance sports out there. It demands a lot of the body during training and competition, and combines a unique mixture of aerobic endurance, strength, and technical skill. So of course nutrition is going to play a significant role in fueling this winter sport where participants self propel themselves up and downhill in spandex suits to see who can go the fastest. #glamorous.

This week on the show I sit down with Lizzie Larkins, a senior on the University of Vermont nordic ski team to chat about the lifestyle of a nordic skier and the lessons she’s learned going through some periods of overtraining and underfueling and how she now applies her studies as a nutrition major to training and racing. We also discuss RED-S in the nordic community, her favorite foods, finding a balance with social media, and plenty more.

This is a fantastic conversation for any young athlete hoping to continue in their career into the collegiate ranks. A 3 time All-American at Junior Nationals, member of the UVM NCAA Ski National Championships squad, and nutrition nerd, Lizzie offers some sage wisdom and advice on keeping things in perspective and fueling the love of sport that is so important to cultivate.
