Fuel Training, Recovery and Performance
Proper nutrition and fuelling are fundamental to supporting consistent, high-quality training in endurance running. By applying nutrition periodisation, adjusting energy and nutrient intake to match the demands of different training phases, you can optimise performance, whether that’s fuelling harder sessions, supporting adaptation during base training, or refining body composition closer to competition.
Adequate intake of carbohydrates, protein, fat, along with key micronutrients not only sustains energy levels but also plays a vital role in injury prevention by supporting muscle repair, immune function, and overall resilience. When injury does occur, well-structured nutrition accelerates recovery, helping to rebuild tissue, reduce inflammation, and maintain fitness, ultimately enabling a smoother and more effective return to training.
