As my running distances and training load have been increasing, I’ve been making a much more conscious effort to ensure I’m actually eating enough to support what I’m asking my body to do, both before and after my sessions. And as a physio, I know just how important this is, but when you’re juggling training, teaching and running multiple businesses, it’s surprisingly easy to finish a session and get straight back into work without giving recovery much thought. Carbohydrates are particularly important for fuelling my runs and replenishing glycogen stores afterwards, while protein supports muscle repair and adaptation. I’ve been trying to be much more intentional about getting enough of both rather than treating nutrition as an afterthought. Lately I’ve been loving adding @tropeaka Double Choc Protein + Collagen into my post-run smoothies. It’s such an easy way to get some extra protein in, especially on mornings when I don’t necessarily feel like sitting down to a full meal straight after training. I’m definitely learning that as my running progresses, it’s not just about how many kilometres I’m getting through or how hard I’m training, but whether I’m giving my body enough to actually recover and adapt between sessions. Because there’s not much point putting all that effort into training if you’re constantly under-fuelling the work you’re doing.
