Round two with coach & running-longevity-guru Tommy Lewis. And the good news is...
Does it feel like everyone's either injured or very tired at the moment? Tommy believes one of the biggest issues in running is chronic under-fuelling.
Good recovery needs good fuel.
It's no secret: Bones, connective tissue (tendons etc), muscles, and hormones all require energy to stay healthy. If energy intake is consistently too low, tissue quality drops.
Calorie deficit = injury.
Often runners are in two camps. 1,accidentally living in a calorie deficit (especially in a training block). 2,intentionally living in a calorie deficit (for 'lightness and speed'). Both introduce new risks for injury and ultimately performance.
Eat enough, notperfect.
Controversial opinion... mostly good (ideally whole food) eaten in sufficient quantitybeats under-fuelled 'perfect' or 'clean' eating.You don’t have to be perfect, just fed.
The SUMS team go-to pre-race dinner. Easy on the stomach, stuffed with salts, carbs and energy for running and running and running.
