I love a Sunday long run and often find myself mid-run thinking about what I’m going to eat afterward. My go-to post-run fuel has changed over the years, but I tended to pick a favorite and stick with it for several weeks. Kodiak cakes with maple syrup and almond butter were my favorite for quite some time and a burger often hit the spot as well.
After working with a dietitian during the period I considered myself to be a competitive athlete, my eating habits definitely changed for the better. I realized that I was often not eating nearly enough protein and the majority of the time I was waiting far too long after my run to eat.
