All runners, serious and recreational, have unique nutritional demands. Achieving your personal best is not just about training hard. What, when and how much you eat can have a dramatic effect on your stamina, performance and recovery, and as a result affects your run.
Athletes are always looking for an edge when it comes to their training, recovery, and performance when race-day arrives.
If ever there was an option for becoming the best possible athlete regardless of the sport that's your passion, it's in the food you choose to eat. A high performance automobile requires the best quality fuel in order to perform at a top level and an athlete is no different. What an athlete chooses to eat will go a long way to determining the level of performance that will be attained.
In her book Go Faster Food, Kate Percy has done an excellent job of defining the best food choices for optimum training, racing, and recovery.
