Diet

Question
I'm fairly new to running and will be training for my first half marathon.  I'll be using a 16-week training plan and running 3-4 times a week.  What kinds of meals are best for runners throughout the week?  What do you suggest for pre-run snacks or meals?  What's best to eat after a run to help the body recover?

Answer
Hi Paula
First There is no magic meals for training for your first 1/2 marathon.Just make sure you eat well balanced meals which includes carbs proteins and vegies.You need no pre run snacks.After your run just stick to the the same well balance formula of carbs,protein,and vegies.I know this sounds simplistic but it is that simple.The real key to your success is your training program.The diet is just to make sure you absorb the necessary nutrients for the proper function of the muscular function and skeleton system to absorb the training over the given 16 weeks of work.If you want more clarity your more than welcome to call me any time here in albuquerque Nm any time.

All the very best
to you
