You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: eurodonkey Subject: RE: Soup to Nuts - Letsrun Train Me Body: PhysMech, I'm intrigued. Could you boil some of this down into a few guidelines? e.g. what would you eat / not eat / do / not do at various times of day that wasn't obvious? The one major 'find' I am aware of in recent years which goes beyond dietary/training common sense and which affects runners was discovering that you needed some protein with your carbs for recovery. I found a study a couple of years back suggesting that if you exhausted yourself and took nothing or only took carbs, changes in the blood chemistry occurred which wiped out a lot of white cells, leaving you vulnerable to colds etc for a critical day or so. But if there was protein around, this was mitigated. The last 2 winters, I have been a lot more careful about refueling promptly after long runs and have suffered less colds. But then, I've been more consistent in my training too, so would not rush to attribute it all to diet. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
