Send Carolyn a text Jessica Wylychenko is a Winnipeg-based Registered Dietitian who specializes in helping runners optimize their performance through her company, Speed & Savoury . With fall marathons on the horizon, Jessica shares essential strategies for marathoners to effectively manage their fueling and hydration, aiming to prevent injuries, maximize training gains, and ensure a strong performance on race day – and beyond! Her advice is practical and actionable, so you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of what to consume, as well as when and how much. Throughout our conversation, Jessica draws on her experience as a competitive runner. After facing a series of injuries & setbacks in 2019 due to unintentional underfueling, she relied on her expertise to develop a tailored nutrition strategy along with advice from her coaches for strength and run planning. This approach paid off, allowing her to shave nearly 15 minutes off her marathon PR, achieving an impressive 2:54 at the 2024 BMO Vancouver Marathon.
