Why Nutrition Matters for Runners
Running places unique demands on your body, requiring adequate energy, nutrients, and hydration. Proper nutrition can:
Boost Energy and Endurance: Fueling your body with the right balance of carbohydrates and protein ensures you have the energy to go the distance.
Support Muscle Recovery: Protein is crucial for repairing and rebuilding muscles after a run.
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Balanced meals help maintain a healthy weight, which can improve running performance.
Prevent Injury: Proper nutrition can help reduce the risk of injuries like stress fractures and muscle strains.
