HOW MANY EXTRA CALORIES PER WEEK SHOULD THE AVERAGE FEMALE CONSUME WHEN MARATHON TRAINING?
Dr Carrie Ruxton from the Meat Advisory Panel (meatandhealth.redmeatinfo. com), herself a keen runner, says: “Marathon training involves one or two long runs a week (usually between oneand-a-half to two hours) which boosts energy requirements by around 200-300 calories a day. As it’s important to take in protein after training to promote muscle recovery, the extra calories consumed should be eaten as highprotein foods, such as lean red meat, fish, nuts, milk or low-fat Greek yoghurt. Red meat is a particularly good choice as it’s rich in iron, zinc and B vitamins, which support energy release and immune function, and reduce tiredness and fatigue.”
