day on our plates training for a half marathon🏃🏼‍♀️💪🏻

she’s finally got a place on the GNR.. what the helly so that’s meant we are back to our 3 day run weeks!

One thing to note is that food shouldn’t be saved for after the run.. it’s part of the training and is SO SO important!

Before a run, I’m making sure I’ve got some easy-to-digest carbs in. Things like toast, bagels, oats, cereal, banana etc. Nothing overly complicated, just enough carbohydrate to give me some readily available energy and make the run feel a whole lot better. Especially for longer runs, going in under-fuelled can make such a difference to how you feel halfway through.

For longer sessions, I’ll also think about hydration and electrolytes. It’s not just about drinking loads of water - when you’re sweating for a longer period, replacing fluids and electrolytes can be useful too.

And then post-run is where I’m really prioritising protein + carbs. I want to replenish the energy I’ve used, get some protein in to support muscle recovery and actually give my body what it needs to adapt to the training.

The rest of the day is honestly just balanced meals, plenty of protein, carbs, fruit and veg, fats etc.

You can’t expect your body to train harder, recover, build strength and improve your running if you’re constantly trying to eat as little as possible.. FOOD IS FUEL. amennnn ladies🫶🏼

This past month it’s been all about what keeps our cups full? 🤎☕️

If you were to ask us what fills our cup, this would be it.

For us, it looks like early morning starts, sea dips, saunas and getting outside for a walk even when the to-do list is long, and training with a solid plan (LB programmes only ofc)- with intention, not just for the sake of it.

It’s coffee from a local shop or roaster & banana bread, hosting yummy dinner dates with the people we love, and creating little moments full with giggles that make everyday feel AMAZING.

Giving but gratefully receiving, flowers never go a miss🌸

And it’s helping our clients feel like the best version of themselves every single day - stronger, more confident, energised and proud of what their bodies can do.

Because looking after yourself isn’t just about training and nutrition.

It’s about filling your cup in all the little ways that make you feel more like you.
