@paulsissons1964 @HumanKineticsEU @UKRunChat Love the commitment to your health!

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

Another Q for you! What have you changed the most about your nutritional intake over the years/since you started running? #ukrunchat @humankineticseu @UKRunChat

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

@twiglet81 @UKRunChat @HumanKineticsEU Those are great for sodium and shorter fins/high sweat days. Also add carbs for Longer run days. #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

Likely yes!!! Try it an lmk how you feel! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Victoria Lawrence @twiglet81]

@NutritionEnergy @UKRunChat @HumanKineticsEU Thanks will look into it - been getting crampy calves again & could be that I need something more than water! #ukrunchat

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

@UKhotfoodchat @UKRunChat @HumanKineticsEU Woohoo! That is the goal! Now go tear up those roads!

@80percentvegan @UKhotfoodchat @HumanKineticsEU @UKRunChat No one know everything about everything. It’s also east to find research to support what one wants to see. Search pubmed for research and again, ask the pros! NONE of them do fasted runs? Why not???

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

Nope! This is a much longer conversation, but in a word, no. I think back to my grad school days at Berkeley in CA when the professors taught us to read every article & study with questions. No pro runners do it-so that says something. #ukrunchat @humankineticseu @UKRunChat

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

@fish43482366 @UKRunChat @HumanKineticsEU Worth a try…!!! 😉

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

With a few whole grains, fruits and veggies thrown in every once in a while… :)# ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Prof twatcheckuk MBA MBE @fish43482366]

@NutritionEnergy @HumanKineticsEU @UKRunChat More beer, crisps, chocolate, bacon and red meat. #ukrunchat

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

This has been fun! What would you like to learn more about when it comes to nutrition? #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

Happens to all of us. We need more fluid and salt (sports drinks or electrolyte tabs) in hot weather. #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Claire Wynarczyk 💙 @ClaireWynarczyk]

@NutritionEnergy @UKRunChat @HumanKineticsEU I did sweat a lot it got too hot

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

You are very welcome.mI hope you enjoy it!!! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Marie @mazbabe]

@UKRunChat @NutritionEnergy Im going to buy this . Thank you Lauren for all the advice .

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

It is definitely worth a try for longer runs (depending on pace etc 10k can take various times) and in the HEAT! You may not need to fuel during all runs, but longer and more intense ones for sure! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Victoria Lawrence @twiglet81]

@NutritionEnergy @UKRunChat @HumanKineticsEU I mainly run up to 10k & don’t take drink or anything with me, occasionally run a little further with friends, should I be considering a recovery sports drink for over this? #ukrunchat

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

Love that you are listening to your body and what it needs. That is so important. #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[David Vise @RevDharmaPastaf]

@NutritionEnergy @HumanKineticsEU @UKRunChat Probably not a lot. Although I eat more quantity wise than before I was a regular runner. I was doing Taekwondo several times a week for about 10 years before I got into regular running.
#ukrunchat

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

Yes. Longer runs = need more fuel both before and during! You will feel amazing!! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Marie @mazbabe]

@emmalougheed @blastrunning @UKRunChat I have overnight oats on my working days but never tried for a long run. Will need to do that.

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

Sorry to hear today was tough. Three tips: 1) more carbs day prior 2) more carbs + salt morning of 3) more carbs + salt (sports drink + gels ) during. Some combination of the tree will do the trick. Lmk how it goes! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Claire Wynarczyk 💙 @ClaireWynarczyk]

@NutritionEnergy @UKRunChat @HumanKineticsEU How can I fuel myself for half marathons so I don't burn out like I did today

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

This is common. Again, important to know what you need and then listen to what your body can eat (rather than what you think you should eat). More important fo eat ENOUGH -there is no perfect or correct food! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

I don’t trust anyone who says they don’t like chocolate! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

[Lauren Antonucci @NutritionEnergy]

Three cheers for breakfast!!

[MuscleSprouts @emmalougheed]

@mazbabe @blastrunning @UKRunChat I’d have overnight oats or porridge with banana and a bagel at least 2hrs before that length of run. I’m the sort of person who needs breakfast within 5min of waking up tho! #ukrunchat
