As my mileage is now clocking up I suspect I should take more notice of recovery nutrition. After my long run should I be drinking something like a powerade or lucozade drink even if I am necking a bottle (and some energy gels) during the run

Why is it that one day I will go out for a plod and find my legs are tired very quickly and other days I feel like I can run on forever (well not FOREVER but you get the gist)? It's how it happens unfortunately. I used to think it was down to sleep/recovery

books covering triathlon training and nutrition.. not that i've read any! The nutritional requirements of an individual are easily estimated based on their weight in Kilos, an athletic person need to get approximately 70% of their calories from
