What Diet Plan Would You Recommend For A Distance Runner?
![]() |
What diet would you recommend benefits distance runners while the most while they weight train and workout. I know bodybuilders have a protein-enriched diet that helps them, but does that apply to distance runners who seek strength through weight training? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Remember this, protein builds muscles and carbs give you energy, its why they have spagetti dinners for the runners before marathons! Whatever you do, don’t skip breakfast. My friend ran a marathon without eating first, she passed out at mile 21! Just eat healthy. If you run more, eat enough to give youenergy for the run. I run 5 miles a day, I eat 1800 calories. This wouldn’t be enough if I ran 10 miles, so eat more if you know you will run more.
I’m a long-distance cycler, and I thrive on low-fat proteins and good carbs – like organic rice and bananas. Bananas are a wonder drug for me during long, extensive workouts. Probably not the answer you were looking for as I don’t have running experience, but cycling includes the same type of long-distance endurance. Sorry I can’t help with the weight training part of your question.
drink alot of water… eat alot of fruits and vegetables
the fruits and vegetable dont seem like much but they have everything u need to have alot of energy even after u have been running a bit…
dont eat junk food
