Training alone is not enough. Eating a healthy diet is also important for running successfully. We explain which foods are healthy – and why you shouldn’t condemn carbohydrates and fats.

If you eat poorly, consume too much convenience food, fast food and sugar, you will not be successful in running. The body is very sensitive – and the food is like fuel for it. If you give him only bad ones, he will stutter. Quite different if you make sure to eat foods with healthy vitamins, minerals and fiber when making your selection.
But which foods should runners access? What should endurance athletes in particular eat before, during and after running? This is the subject of the new episode of our podcast “She runs. He runs”. It’s an important issue. Because many who do sport in their free time are faced with the task of supplementing their training with a sensible diet. There are many messages and tips circulating on the Internet. But a lot is contradicting itself, some is simply wrong. The time has come to shed some light on the thicket. What does science say What’s the best diet?
Walnuts contain a lot of healthy omega-3 fatty acids
There is a lot of new information to learn – for example, which foods are particularly good for runners. Or did you know that walnuts, which are often said to have too much fat, are actually ideal for post-exercise? Because they contain a lot of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. They are of great importance for the human metabolism. Studies have also shown that these fatty acids strengthen the immune system and can alleviate and heal inflammatory processes. This is especially important for quick regeneration when running. But also protects the cardiovascular system. If you want to find out more about a healthy diet before, during and after exercise, then listen to us.
