Becoming a Better Runner in 2015
February: Clean Up Your Nutrition

By Vishal Patel, DRC training director

Coming off Valentine's Day full of sweets and returning to healthier eating can be pretty tough. Evaluate your current nutritional intake and find ways to fuel yourself better; otherwise, the occasional sweet treat can turn into the daily habit.

 

Also take this time to evaluate what your nutritional needs are as an athlete, because that's what you are! If you are not sure how to do this, ask a coach or a nutritionist before taking the advice of a running buddy as you're splitting a pitcher at the local brew house.

 

Nutrition Matters!
