My Sport Diets – Running – Diet 1

Used for events:
10km Bondi Barefoot Softsand + Bolt Runs

Used for following reasons:

1. I did a very long run 5 days before the actual event and had very bad muscle cramps and tissue damage
2. I wanted to build my up energy reserves for what I knew would be a high energy consuming run

What I was hoping this diet would do:
This diet was aimed at helping my muscles and tissue recover (high carb, protein and antioxidants) and also boost my energy reserves.
