Fueling for the long run: Long runs are a staple of so many of our training programs. As runners we know that how we feel during the long run comes down to how we fuel during it. Here are some important questions to dive into: When do I know I need to fuel during a run? How long of a run does it have to be? What should I eat and drink? Is it ok to fast before long runs?
We found an excellent article from Laura Norris Running that digs into the science of long runs, as well as provides practical suggestions for nutrition before and during your runs. Check out her great tips and let us know how much better your next long run goes!
Of course, we couldn’t bring up long run nutrition without a shout out to our sponsor Ucan! Ucan’s “super starch” provides easily digestible energy that lasts, and you can save 15% with code UCANMOTR to check it out.
