Whether training for a marathon or working out to get more fit, fueling the workout is important. That fuel comes from food. Specialized shakes and supplements are not necessary.

As someone who teaches sports nutrition; helps recreational athletes with their nutrition; and a former recreational runner and cyclist; I can attest that fueling the workout properly can make a big difference in performance and how good someone feels during and after the workout.

PRIORITY – HYDRATION:

Water and other fluids are the most overlooked part of fueling fitness. While water has no calories, and therefore no energy, it can still help a workout in many ways.
