This Is the Fascinating Science Powering Your Runs
Fueling your body properly for running is a fairly complex process, but it can be best summed up in one phrase called glycogen metabolism.
Understanding the basics of glycogen metabolism is essential to creating a fueling plan that will enable you to train and race your best.
And the science is actually quite fascinating.
You’ll learn:
how your body creates and uses fuel for any kind of run
how you can enhance this process, and
how you can improve your glycogen storage to have a greater stash of energy for performance
This topic could easily fall deep in the rabbit hole of physiology, biochemistry, and anatomy, but I'm going to hopefully make it easier to understand the process in just a few minutes.
Welcome to the Planted Runner. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic and my mission is to help you improve your running, your mindset, and your life with science-backed training and plant-based nutrition.
If you need more help, you can order my book The Planted Runner: Running Your Best With Plant-Based Nutrition wherever you get books or request a copy from your local library.
