Put That Burger Down: Health And Nutrition Tips To Lose Those Extra Pounds And Run Better

To benefit from my health and nutrition advice you are going to have to cut down on all those burgers, pies and other junk foods (I love them too ) that although taste great have very little nutritional value.

You can run as many miles as you like but if you don't change the way you eat you are wasting your time.

Good nutrition for a runner generally means you need to eat more, but this means eating the right foods.

As you train it is best to experiment with various products/foods to see what agrees with your stomach and gives you the best results. Find what works for you and stick to it.

Nutrition is extremely important to get the most out of your running, You need to combine a healthy eating program with a good training program to get you lean and fast.

OK you can have the odd burger or pie, just don't overdo it.

Here's a general breakdown of the food groups
and how they impact on you as a runner.
