Energise Your Mornings

Kickstart your day with the Running Meal Plan – September. Begin each morning with a hearty bowl of porridge. Top it with your favourite fruits, nuts, or seeds for an extra boost. Whether you opt for classic porridge, overnight banana porridge, or a spiced coconut version with cranberry and orange compote, you’ll get the essential nutrients to fuel your runs.

Mid-Morning Fuel

Stay energised throughout the day with a balanced mid-morning snack. Choose between homemade options or grab something from the store. This quick bite will help keep your energy levels steady until lunchtime.

Nourishing Lunches

The Running Meal Plan – September includes a variety of delicious and nutritious lunch options. Enjoy savoury spinach protein pancakes or a flavourful chickpea spinach salad. For something heartier, try the chicken and chorizo paella or a comforting spaghetti Bolognese. These meals fuel your running routine and keep your energy steady.

Afternoon Boost

When the afternoon slump hits, reach for a snack. Whether homemade or purchased, these snacks will keep you going and help you power through the rest of your day.

Hydrate and Recover

A smoothie or protein shake is perfect for hydration and muscle recovery. These drinks are packed with essential nutrients to help your body recover after a run and prepare for the next challenge.

Satisfying Dinners

End your day with a satisfying dinner from the Running Meal Plan – September. Enjoy dishes like tarragon roast chicken with summer greens or jerk cod with creamed corn. For variety, try the Thai beef curry or a delicious creamy chicken stew. Each meal is crafted to support your running performance with the right balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats.

Evening Wind-Down

Complete your day with a light bedtime snack to aid overnight recovery. These snacks will help your body recover while you sleep, ensuring you’re ready for the next day’s runs.
