RUNNER’S DIET
5 Foods That Should Be In Every Runner’s Diet By Dan Cappello If you’re not a runner then it’s easy to assume that all runners eat pasta and bread as the main source of their diet. Carb-loading is the term often used. But a good runner will have a variety of different foods in their diet, such as lean meats and green vegetables. Carb-loading is effective before a race, but not in a daily routine. A proper diet can help keep your muscles healthy and strong and be the best fuel source to prepare for your next race. If you are starting our 5K training program or beginning your own race training, be sure to incorporate these five foods in your diet.
TUNA Protein is the key to rebuilding muscle and healing. Tuna is a convenient snack that can be stored at home easily and made into different meals. Tuna sandwiches and salads are a great substitute for those bland turkey sandwiches and peanut butter and jelly.
BABY CARROTS Throw these in a Ziploc bag and take them to work. Vitamin A, fiber and low-fat beta carotene make baby carrotts a healthy alternative to potato chips. Runners will benefit from the nutrients and there convenience makes them hard to beat.
CHOCOLATE That’s right. Don’t think you have to cut out the sweets entirely. Try to eat dark chocolate, which is filled with antioxidants which helps reduce inflammation. The trick is to not over eat. A mere 3050 calories a day should satisfy your sweet tooth and give your body what it needs to keep on running.
