This Elite Running Camp Makes Nutrition a Priority in Training. Here’s What Athletes Eat Every Day.

Ever feel guilty about that pre-run slice of toast? Don't be. We got a look at what Olympic hopefuls eat, and their philosophy is refreshingly simple: "Eat a lot, mostly carbs." 🍝 That's right. For athletes running 100+ miles a week, carbs aren't the enemy—they're the essential fuel. Pasta, risotto, bread, and oatmeal are the staples that power their two-a-day workouts. The biggest takeaway for all of us? Food is FUEL. It's not about restriction; it's about giving your body what it needs to perform and recover. So go on, enjoy that banana or slice of jam on toast. Your run will thank you for it! What's your favourite way to fuel up before a run? Drop it in the comments! 👇 #WhyRun #RunningNutrition #RunnersFuel #CarbLoading #UKRunners #MarathonTraining #EatToRun
