The Fats That Keep You Skinny: Long Distance Fuel

There has been a giant shift in awareness to eating a more paleolithic way. One major fail on modern eating is the ratio of good to bad fats we are consciously and unconsciously eating. Ingesting more healthy fats is like putting premium gas in your car. The good fats make for a much cleaner run in terms of your breathing, recovery, and overall health. Consider it your internal running lube.

Who doesn't find the warm aroma of percolating coffee delightful to our senses. Rolling out of bed for an early run definitely goes over best with a nice cup of Joe before heading out. Some people swear by its benefits and performance capabilities, while others caution its side effects. How much good does coffee do for our performance and how much damage does this delightful drink do to our bodies. We will see... Coffee is definitely in my Runners Lunch Box, but everyBODY's different.

There's just something about the creamy, richness of the delicious nut spread called "Peanut Butter." I don't know what it is, but it seems that anyone committed to some form of rigorous training schedule feels the strong pull of PB's magnitude from the kitchen cupboard.

I would consider myself quite the Peanut Butter Runner.
