One of the "secrets" to having great runs may be right in front of our eyes and on our plates. In this week's guest post, I share 3 Proven Ways to Fuel & Refuel for Running Success.
When Whitney Heins over at The Mother Runners asked me to write about post-run refueling in my guest post this week, I jumped at the chance.
Not only is Whitney's website is such an amazing source of encouraging, informative, and supportive content, but I'm also uber passionate about the importance of refueling after long or hard runs.
After all, adjusting my refueling strategy during my last training cycle was the biggest factor in increasing the effectiveness-- and enjoyability --of my runs. I found that when I recovered properly from my hard runs, I could head back out for my recovery runs the following day with more energy, pep in my step, and overall excitement for the run ahead.
Fueled for the long haul.
Because the lessons I learned changed my running game so much, I wanted to share them in hopes of bringing more enjoyment and results to your training runs. too.
After all, the three steps are simple and easy to implement. It's simply a matter of when you refuel and with what.
But don't worry -- I'm not going to recommend you spent 8 hours in the kitchen or 2 months worth of savings on expensive supplements.
As usual, my goal is to bring real good, real healthy food that is easy to make and delicious to eat from my kitchen to yours -- so you can enjoy the benefits of good nutrition today.
What I share.
In my guest post, I will go over my three easy & proven ways to fuel and refuel for runs well and I'll also share TWO easy, gluten-free, and vegan recipes that are perfect for refueling!
