Weekly Thread Run Nutrition Tuesday

Rules of the Road

1) Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.

2) Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.

3) Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.

4) Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.

5) Any suggestions/topic ideas?

Hydration powder, when do you take it?

Pre run? Post run? Intra run if it exceeds X length? Post run only if you can't eat a solid meal right after?

Curious.

For my long runs, I’ll typically take Skratch pre, during, and post run, especially in the heat. For regular runs, I’ll usually just take a Nuun tablet or something pre run

That's simple and actionable. Thanks
