Description

Protein is quite high up on the list of nutritionally important things for runners to think about yet it's possibly something that gets a little forgotten about.



As runners we might think that protein is simply something that bodybuilders need to worry about but it is important for everyone and especially for anyone physically active.



In this episode I explain what protein is, why it is an important consideration for runners as well as some practical tips on how much is optimal and where to get it from.
