Any regular runner will tell you how difficult those early runs are (heavy legs and achy knees are par for the course). But the beauty of running is the consistent improvements you should see in your performance. That&#8217;s until you hit a second wall, and this is where properly fuelling yourself before, during, and after your runs is vital.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A runner\u2019s nutritional needs will fluctuate with how many miles they do and what their goals are in terms of their performance and body composition,&#8221; says dietician <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citydietitians.co.uk\/our-dietitians\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sophie Medlin<\/a>. &#8220;There isn\u2019t a particular diet that runners need to follow or any special foods we need to eat. In the same way as everyone else, runners need a good balance of <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/plant-based-nutrition\/form-performance-plant-based-vegan-protein-powder\/\">protein<\/a>, healthy fats, and wholegrain carbohydrates.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are still some useful things to keep in mind that apply specifically to runners though, which we will all explore in the following article.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How To Fuel Yourself Before A Run<\/h2>\n<p>So you&#8217;re at your front door, stretching those limbs, putting on your pumping Spotify playlist. This is the start, right? Well, in nutrition terms, no. You need to fuel up and you need to be tactical about when you do so.<\/p>\n<p>The body\u2019s preferred energy source for running is glycogen, which is the body\u2019s way of storing <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/carbohydrate-timing-exercise\/\">carbs<\/a>. It is recommended that during training, runners add 100 calories to their regular daily caloric intake for every mile run. In total, 65 percent of your daily calories should come from carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<p>Your body\u2019s storage of this glycogen gets used up and begins to decrease as you continue running and will eventually run out if not restored. So you need to make sure the shop is well stocked so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>Most runners find it preferable to fuel up with carbs the night before rather than having a <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/why-skip-breakfast\/\">big breakfast<\/a>, which could cause <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/protein-bloating\/\">digestion issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-183685 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/toffee-apple-porridge-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"toffee protein porridge\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/11\/toffee-apple-porridge-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/11\/toffee-apple-porridge-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/11\/toffee-apple-porridge-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/11\/toffee-apple-porridge-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/11\/toffee-apple-porridge-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/11\/toffee-apple-porridge.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fibre can be problematic for some runners so try to get to know your digestion,&#8221; advises Medlin, &#8220;and if this is a problem for you, consider reducing the amount of fibre in your diet for 24 hours before a race. Most people will benefit from some carbohydrate before a long run and a banana or a porridge works well. Some people may find this gives them a stitch or compromises their performance, in which case, liquid energy may be better in the form of diluted fruit juice, for example.<\/p>\n<div>&#8220;Some people prefer to train fasted and may find that an espresso or a small dose of caffeine improves their performance. I have always run fasted from 5km runs to marathons. Make sure you\u2019re getting plenty of vitamins and minerals, and consider a B vitamin supplement if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/28-days-of-planet-power\/\">reducing the amount of animal products in your diet<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>When it comes to working out your nutritional needs, practice is perfect stresses Medlin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Monitor your performance and how enjoyable your runs are and reflect on what you\u2019ve eaten and had to drink in the 12 hours leading up to that run. The energy stored in your muscles plays a big role in how you feel and perform during a run and this is impacted by diet and rest days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>And What About During A Run?<\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re running especially long distances (a marathon takes around 4 to 5 hours to complete) you may also need to think about fuelling during the run to keep yourself going.<\/p>\n<p>From isotonic gels to trail mix, there&#8217;s a lot of different recommendations out there on what snacks to take. For Medlin though it&#8217;s all up to personal preference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone is different and it\u2019s important to try out a few snacks on training runs before you race so that you know what suits you best. It depends when and if you ate before the race and what distance you\u2019re running. Most people won\u2019t need to refuel for 5-10km distances if you\u2019ve done some training unless it\u2019s particularly hot, you\u2019re pushing for a particular time or you\u2019re racing fasted. Distances longer than 10km usually require some liquid or glucose refuelling after 5-10km.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For long-distance and high intensity, I carry Jelly Tots to stick in the side of my mouth for a small supply of glucose. Other runners use Jelly Babies but I find them too big and too sticky. I once saw someone eating a pasty at the 5mile point of a marathon. Don\u2019t do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-267608 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/08\/AdobeStock_251358605-1200x675.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Will A Protein Shake After A Run Help Ease The Aches And Kickstart My Recovery?<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After your run, you&#8217;ll likely be experiencing the aches and pains that come with putting your body through the wringer for an extended period of time. Allowing your body to recover is important here, firstly in the form of rest (sleep and targeted rest days), and secondly in your protein intake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The macronutrient is essential for muscle growth, strength, and repair, while not getting enough of it reduces lean body mass, muscle strength, and function. Based on\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/how-much-protein-do-i-need-a-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">systemic reviews<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> of the research out there, 1.2 to 2.0g of protein, per kg of body weight, per day is our recommendation. This range depends on how active you are, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/plant-based-nutrition\/form-performance-plant-based-vegan-protein-powder\/\">protein shake<\/a> in this case can be a useful (and portable) way of making sure you&#8217;re getting enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;It again depends on your goals in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/body-composition-101-the-basics-of-gaining-muscle-and-losing-fat\/\">body composition<\/a>,&#8221; says Medlin. &#8220;But, everyone&#8217;s muscles are working hard during a run and it will be beneficial to make sure there is enough protein available to repair and grow your muscles. If you\u2019re having a balanced meal, including protein, within an hour or so of your workout, you don\u2019t need to worry. If it\u2019s likely to be a bit longer, a protein shake and some electrolytes will be beneficial.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-348168 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Form_PROTEINS_HR_L2-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From mid-run Jelly Tots to eating the night before, dietician Sophie Medlin helps us breakdown the dos and don&#8217;ts of fuelling yourself for a big run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14068,"featured_media":267609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-267607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.1 (Yoast SEO v26.6) -
