The long run nutrition and hydration

The Happy Runner ·

2021/08/28

Nutrition and hydration play a big role in running, especially in races and longer efforts. In this episode you will learn that you don’t take care of nutrition and hydration the day of your long run. You need to take care of both the days before your long run, during the run and even after. I talk about what works for me. Even nutrition and hydration should be trained, so use your long runs to train and never try something new on race day.
