HOW DO I...?
How do make sure I consume enough protein if I’m training for a marathon?
If you’re training for your first 26-miler, bravo! As well as focusing on the miles, you may be thinking about how best to replace your protein stores during your training journey. Yeo Valley gives us their expert insight into how to stay on top of your fuelling and nutrition
As you gradually increase your weekly training miles, in preparation for a marathon, you will probably be attempting a regular long slow run, maybe a session once per week with shorter, faster intervals and a mid-week, or parkrun, tempo, where you’re aiming to build strength endurance. A wise runner will also try to incorporate some strength work, perhaps two 10-minute sessions per week, as well as time for flexibility and stretching using a foam roller. It won’t take long in a traditional 16-week marathon training plan before you start to clock up the miles, which will probably make you feel increasingly tired. You are asking a lot of your body, and it will do its utmost to try and get you to your start line, but remember that this increase in training and general strength and conditioning will mean your muscles are having to work harder than ever before, with less rest.
