RUNNING
It’s all about getting in the running rhythm
In endurance sports such as cross-country running, the focus is on the well-coordinated energy supply. At the same time, you should have as little body fat as possible. Every gram too much costs unnecessarily energy. Nevertheless, you need dry muscle mass in good shape, so that you can complete your distance accordingly quickly.
In the past, only carbohydrate intake was paid attention to, but today we know that protein and amino acids are at least as important. The longer the workout lasts, fat burning becomes more and more important, so this aspect should also be taken into account in the diet and supplementation. All in all, the athletes are considered more complex today and, above all, pay attention to optimal regeneration – this is a key to success.
In the following we give you a recommendation which products can support you and when you should take them. We assume a normal training or competition day. If you are doing sports at a different time of day, you should adjust the times accordingly.

One of the biggest false myths is that endurance athletes focus mainly on their carbohydrate intake should focus. Runners who exercise intensively need as much protein per kg of body weight as a body builder.
In extreme cases, 10g of BCAA’s from the muscles are used for energy production during a marathon. If this is not compensated as quickly as possible by appropriate nutrition, this means obstruction of regeneration and thus loss of performance.
