How can I plan my meals to improve my running performance?

To enhance your running performance, focus on a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats. What are your current eating habits?

I usually eat a lot of pasta and some fruits, but I’m not sure if that’s enough.

Pasta is great for carbs! Consider adding lean proteins like chicken or fish, and include a variety of vegetables for vitamins. How often do you run?

I run about 4 times a week, usually around 5 miles each time.

That's excellent! For your running routine, aim for a meal with carbs and protein about 2-3 hours before your run. Would you like some specific meal ideas?

Yes, please! What meals would you recommend?

Try oatmeal with banana and nuts for breakfast, a quinoa salad with veggies and chicken for lunch, and brown rice with salmon and broccoli for dinner.
