Session 1: Fueling for a Long Run

What to eat before, during, and after a long run

Hello everyone!

Whether you’re running really long or just going out for a jog, you’ll want to make sure you’re putting in your best effort to fuel properly. Depending on the length of the run and the amount of weekly miles you’re running, will depend on how much you’ll need prior to a run.

Racing soon? Be sure to sample what you want to eat on race morning during a training run. Remember this: keep it simple. Toast, half a bagel, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Something light, but something that’ll keep you satisfied. When in doubt, don’t try anything new on race morning!

Here’s my article I wrote this week on fueling for a long run.
