This has been fun! What would you like to learn more about when it comes to nutrition? #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
Thanks will look into it - been getting crampy calves again & could be that I need something more than water! #ukrunchat
Happens to all of us. We need more fluid and salt (sports drinks or electrolyte tabs) in hot weather. #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
With a few whole grains, fruits and veggies thrown in every once in a while… :)# ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
It is definitely worth a try for longer runs (depending on pace etc 10k can take various times) and in the HEAT! You may not need to fuel during all runs, but longer and more intense ones for sure! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
I mainly run up to 10k & don’t take drink or anything with me, occasionally run a little further with friends, should I be considering a recovery sports drink for over this? #ukrunchat
Thanks for having me host this chat. I hope you all learned a lot from this & from my book There are SO many great nutrition profiles in there from amazing runs: Meb, Deena Kastor, Ryan Hall, Katherine Switzer and more. Hope you enjoy!! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

Love that you are listening to your body and what it needs. That is so important. #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
Probably not a lot. Although I eat more quantity wise than before I was a regular runner. I was doing Taekwondo several times a week for about 10 years before I got into regular running.
#ukrunchat
Yes. Longer runs = need more fuel both before and during! You will feel amazing!! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
Sorry to hear today was tough. Three tips: 1) more carbs day prior 2) more carbs + salt morning of 3) more carbs + salt (sports drink + gels ) during. Some combination of the tree will do the trick. Lmk how it goes! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
This is common. Again, important to know what you need and then listen to what your body can eat (rather than what you think you should eat). More important fo eat ENOUGH -there is no perfect or correct food! #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu

Three cheers for breakfast!!
I’d have overnight oats or porridge with banana and a bagel at least 2hrs before that length of run. I’m the sort of person who needs breakfast within 5min of waking up tho! #ukrunchat
Nope! This is a much longer conversation, but in a word, no. I think back to my grad school days at Berkeley in CA when the professors taught us to read every article & study with questions. No pro runners do it-so that says something. #ukrunchat @humankineticseu @UKRunChat

Another Q for you! What have you changed the most about your nutritional intake over the years/since you started running? #ukrunchat @humankineticseu @UKRunChat
Don’t race much but it’s usually weetabix & a cuppa tea before I slip out for my morning run #ukrunchat
Evening everyone! Joining in late so catching up, strange weekend I haven’t managed to fit a run in! #ukrunchat
YES! That is a great point-thanks for making it. Start fueling early and often. DO NOT WAIT until you feel tired, or hungry or terrible bc that will be too late. #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
It can be tricky, but if you listen to and trust your body you will figure it out. Working with a Sports Dietitian for a bit can really help you work this out. #ukrunchat @UKRunChat @humankineticseu
