Nutrition for 10k and half marathon training by Science in Sport [SiS].
Following a well-structured 10k or half marathon training program is crucial for optimising performance, and minimising the risk of injury. Your training programme should balance aerobic endurance sessions with speed and strength work, leading to a solid aerobic base, whilst also improving your speed and strength.
Alongside training, nutrition plays a key role in optimising performance during 10km or half marathon training by fuelling your body for intense workouts, enhancing recovery and promoting training adaptations.
Despite these well established and scientifically proven benefits of fuelling, nutrition remains one of the biggest things that runners often get wrong, drastically reducing the progress made during their training programme and, ultimately, how fast they can run on race day itself.
These 10k and half marathon nutrition guides by Sience in Sport [SiS] set out some simple steps for you to implement before, during and after the most common training sessions completed as part of training: Easy Runs, Tempo Runs, Speed Sessions and Long Runs.
