Running is one of the most demanding endurance sports when it comes to nutrition. Whether you're training for a 5K, marathon, or ultra, having a clear fueling plan can help you maintain energy and enjoy every run. Lightning Endurance offers practical products designed to support your strategy before, during, and after your workouts.
Why nutrition matters for runners
During running, your body relies heavily on carbohydrates for energy. Long runs and races can deplete your stores, making smart fueling essential to help maintain pace and reduce fatigue. Good nutrition also supports recovery and consistency in training.
Planning your fueling strategy
Every runner is different, but here are some basic guidelines to build your plan:
- Before your run – Choose light, carb-rich foods 2–3 hours before. Stay hydrated with water or an isotonic drink.
- During your run – For runs over 60–90 minutes, plan to take small, regular carbohydrate sources such as gels, bars, or drinks.
- After your run – Rehydrate and eat a balanced meal with carbs and protein to support recovery.
