The Best Diet for Runner's

A runner’s diet is extremely important, whether you are running 3 or 13 miles. What should you eat before and after a run? Add extra calories or no?

Snacking can get a bad rap but healthy snacks are actually an important part of your nutrition and fueling strategy as a runner. Healthy snacks for runners can be used to provide pre-run fuel, mid-run calories, and post-race recovery and refueling nutrients. Healthy snacks are also a crucial component of a runner’s overall diet or nutrition plan, helping meet daily caloric and macronutrient needs throughout the entire day, not just in the interval of time right around a run.

These tips for a runners meal plan will help you have energy for your runs and recovery. Simple, delicious, and family-friendly recipes.

Runners nutrition

If you run regularly each week and want to follow a good diet, you'll know the importance of a healthy meal prep for runners.

There is a lot of information for runners about what to eat before a run and even what to eat before a long run, but you often need to do some digging if you want to find what foods to avoid before running. In other words, while knowing what is best to eat pre-workout is certainly helpful, it’s equally important to know what not to eat in case your general dietary choices differ from the standard recommendations of the best foods to eat before running.

Incorporating an easy meal prep routine into your week will keep you accountable and more likely to stick to your healthy eating goals during the week. Here is what my meal prepping routine looked like this summer.
