This is high-performance fuel for runners who show up hungry... hungry for more speed, more strength, more finish lines.
For long-distance runners, carbohydrates are the primary fuel. Research shows that consuming 60–90 grams of carbs per hour during endurance efforts can delay fatigue and improve performance. Regular meals with complex carbohydrates like rice, potatoes, and grains help maintain glycogen stores and support day-to-day training demands.
Endurance athletes benefit from higher daily protein intakes (around 1.6 to 2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight) to promote muscle repair, reduce soreness, and support training adaptations. Spreading protein evenly across meals (30–40g per meal) is shown to be more effective than skewed intake patterns.
Gastrointestinal (GI) issues are common during training and racing. Nutrition strategies that limit high-fiber, high-fat, and hard-to-digest ingredients, especially in meals eaten 1–3 hours before a run can reduce discomfort. Focusing on simple, lower-irritant foods can help runners stay fueled without compromising performance.
