Nutrition for Runners: Macronutrients 101
Today we're diving deep into the basics of nutrition with a focus on running.
Nutrition isn't just about fueling our bodies; it's about optimizing performance, supporting our health, and even exploring our relationship with food. As someone with a background in human nutrition and a passion for running, this topic hits close to home.
We're starting with macronutrients—those vital components of our diet that directly provide energy: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Beyond understanding what we eat, it's crucial to know how our bodies use and store these nutrients.
But here's the takeaway: nutrition isn't just about numbers. It's about listening to your body's cues, understanding your unique needs, and finding a sustainable approach to fueling your running journey.
