Macros for Runners: Everything you need to know

The importance of proper nutrition during intense periods of
training can’t be overlooked. 


While most runners spend most of their time focusing on their
workouts, recovering from these hard efforts is often more
important than the training itself. 


The best way to do this is by supplying your body with the
correct nutrients at the correct times before, during and after
your training.


And this all starts with understanding macronutrients - what they
are, what each macronutrient is best at, and when to best include
them in your diet.


So, today we’re going to be talking with our very own Coach Jeff
Gaudette about everything macronutrients. You’re going to learn…


The best times to include each macronutrient in your diet

The optimal macronutrient ratio for runners based on your
goals

How to best hit your macronutrient targets

Plus much, much more.
