Start Your Day Right
The Running Meal Plan – October starts with the most important meal of the day: breakfast. Especially for runners, a nutrient-packed breakfast is essential. Kickstart your mornings with porridge topped with your favorite fruits, nuts, and seeds. Whether you prefer a simple bowl of porridge or a delicious tropical breakfast bar, you’ll get the energy you need for your runs. Try overnight banana porridge or spiced coconut porridge with cranberry and orange compote for a change.
Mid-Morning Boost
Keep your energy levels steady with a mid-morning snack. Homemade snacks are great, but if you’re on the go, purchased options work just as well. These snacks will keep you fuelled until lunch, helping you avoid energy slumps.
Energising Lunches
Our lunch options offer the perfect balance of nutrients to keep you going through the afternoon. Enjoy light and refreshing salads like the Niçoise stuffed baguette or halloumi and bulgur salad with harissa dressing. If you prefer something heartier, try the stilton and cranberry toastie or the walnut red pesto pasta. These meals are designed to keep you satisfied and energized.
Afternoon Snacks
Beat the afternoon slump with a nutritious snack. Homemade or store-bought, these snacks will keep you fuelled and ready for your evening run or workout.
Hydration and Recovery
Stay hydrated and support muscle recovery with a smoothie or protein shake. These drinks are packed with essential nutrients to help your muscles recover faster and get stronger.
Delicious Dinners
End your day with a wholesome and delicious dinner. Try meals like chicken leek pasta bake, beef bourguignon, or lemony prawn and courgette tagliatelle. Each dinner is crafted to provide the right balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats to aid recovery and prepare you for the next day.
Bedtime Snacks
Finish off with a light bedtime snack to help your body recover overnight and prepare for the next day’s challenges. These snacks aid recovery while you sleep, ensuring you wake up ready to tackle your next run.
