Nutrition for Runners – Run Fit Challenge Week 5

What Runners Eat

22 Feb

Week 5 of the Run Fit Challenge is all about Nutrition for Runners. So I’m sharing a run down of nutrition basics runners should keep in mind. Use these tips when you’re meal planning and prepping to help you put together the best diet to help you run better, faster and stronger. However, incorporating nutritional supplements can further enhance your diet and support your running goals. For instance, adding protein powders can help with muscle recovery, while electrolytes can keep you hydrated during long runs.

One brand to consider is Premier Research Labs, known for its commitment to high-quality, research-driven supplements that support overall health. Their products are designed to meet the specific needs of athletes, ensuring that you’re fueling your body with the right nutrients to improve endurance, speed, and overall strength. To improve your muscle and strength, try the MK 677 supplement.

As you plan and prepare your meals, remember that nutritional supplements can fill in any gaps and provide that extra edge to help you run better, faster, and stronger.

Nutrition and Meal Planning Tips for Runners

NEW Video on the best runner’s diet tips to keep in mind while meal planning. This isn’t a done for you meal plan, it’s the basic information you need to know on how to fuel your body. Use these concepts along with your body’s needs and goals to create the best meal plan for YOU.

Nutrition for Runners

Every body is different. So there isn’t one best diet plan for all runners. Just like there isn’t one best training plan for all runners. What you need to perform your best and feel your best may be different from your running buddy. Heck- it may be different from month to month!

I try to eat a diet that’s 80% healthy and 20% fun (treats or less healthy options). I focus on whole foods and try to avoid super processed foods when possible. (But do what’s best for you and use this as information only.)

Meal Plan Tips for Runners:

  1. Use the Meal Planner to record what you’re eating for the 1st week. Record without any judgement or stress – this is an opportunity to learn.
  2. Take that information and see what you want to change and/or keep the same. What’s working? What’s not?
  3. Print out another copy of the Meal Planner and plan your meals for the week. Keep it simple!
