Training harder doesnât always mean better results. If youâre under-fuelling, your body canât perform or recover at its best.
⢠Carbohydrates are your bodyâs main fuel source for training and performance.
â¨â˘ Protein supports muscle repair and recovery after exercise.
â¨â˘ As your training volume increases, your energy intake should increase too.
⢠Recovery nutrition is just as important as your pre-workout nutrition.
â¨â˘ Under-fuelling can lead to fatigue, irritability, poor recovery, constant hunger and declining performance.
During my half marathon training, I learnt this firsthand.
On the days I didnât refuel after long runs, I felt exhausted, moody, constantly hungry and found it much harder to recover.
If youâre training consistently but not seeing the progress you expected, it may not be about doing more. It could be about fuelling and recovering better.
