What to eat before every type of run!

What should I eat before I run?


It’s an age-old question faced by many runners both new to the
sport and those who have been training seriously and are looking
to fine tune their training diet.


Unfortunately, this isn’t a question with a simple answer.


First, almost every runner will differ in terms of what works
well for their stomach and the types of foods they prefer, both
in terms of taste and any specific food sensitivities. 


Second, the amount of time you have before you run will play a
big role in exactly what and how much you can eat.


Finally, the type of run you’re doing - easy, long, or fast
workout - will change the energy demands you need and thus what
types of foods will work best.


But never fear, while there isn’t a simple answer, today we’re
going to take you through a simple 3-step process to help you
find the optimal foods for you to eat before every type of run.
Plus, as a bonus, I’ll get into the science of the best foods for
recovery after every type of run.

This week’s show brought to you by:

P3-OM and Timeline Nutrition


First, P3-OM:


One of the most exciting frontiers in athletic performance
research is on the population of “good bacteria” in your stomach,
often called probiotics.


For those that are unfamiliar, probiotics are a combination of
live beneficial bacteria and/or yeasts that naturally live in
your body and that can be used to change or re-establish the
intestinal flora and improve your health.


Even more exciting for runners is that a lot of recent research
has shown supplementing with probiotics can have a dramatic
impact on performance. 


Specifically, probiotics have been shown to help reduce the risk
of getting sick during tough training blocks by almost 50%, and
they could also help prevent gastrointestinal problems like
cramping, bloating, and diarrhea, both during training and
racing.


If you’ve struggled with stomach issues in training or racing or
frequently get sick when training hard, adding a high quality
probiotic supplement could be the key to relieving both issues.


As always, the quality and type of probiotic supplement you take
can have a huge impact on its effectiveness.  


That’s why we recommend P3-OM probiotics.


P3-OM is a patented probiotic that uses the most effective strain
of probiotic and also at the highest recommended effective
dosages.


This strain is also proteolytic, meaning it is maintainable in
the human digestive system and it doesn’t require
refrigeration. 


It’s a secret weapon for upgrading your immunity and protection
against bad bacteria.

Second, Timeline Nutrition:


Improving your mitochondria is one of the easiest ways to upgrade
your performance and make your body work better. 


My friends at Time-line Nutrition have introduced a product
called Mitopure that is the ultimate tune-up for
mitochondria. 


Time-line Nutrition's Mitopure is backed by over a decade of
research and is clinically proven to revitalize
mitochondria. 


As we know, mitochondria are the energy generators at the heart
of nearly every cell in our body, but new science is shedding
light on just how critical mitochondria are to our health and
performance. 


For example, researchers found that mitochondria sound the alarm
when cells are exposed to stress or chemicals that could damage
DNA. Plus, as we age, eat too much, and sit at our desks too
much, our mitochondria deteriorate and our bodies suffer. 


Mitopure restores mitochondrial function, so every cell in your
body has the energy to do its job and keep you healthy and
functioning right. In fact, clinical studies have shown that
500mg of Urolithin, one of the main ingredients in Mitopure, can
significantly increase muscle strength & endurance with no
other change in lifestyle.


Mitopure comes in powder form to mix into your favorite smoothie,
Protein Powder if you are looking for a great 1,2 punch of muscle
support, or softgels. 


Improving your mitochondria is one of the best things you can do
for your health and with Mitopure from time-line nutrition, it
has never been easier.
