#1 Eating before a run

​

Whether training for a 5k or a marathon looking after your "engine" is important. Some people don't like to eat before a short run (<45 mins) however others need to have something before they run. It goes without saying everyone should be eating before a longer run. 

​

A banana, 30 mins before you hit the pavements is the perfect answer. It provides enough slow release carbohydrate (fuel for your muscles) but does not constitute a huge amount of bulk, which is more likely to trigger stitch and/or a visit to the nearest toilet when you are out...everyone's a winner!

#2 Looking to Spice up your protein shake with a Christmas twist?

​

(for 1 person) Add 200ml almond milk, whey chocolate & a pinch of gingerbread spice to a shaker and shake it up before pouring the mixture into a glass. Beat 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form and add this to the top of your shake. Sprinkle a little festive cinnamon on top & enjoy!!
