RUNNING

More Info

Running is one of the most popular sports undertaken by people, it is a sport that can be very tough both physically and mentally. The energy requirements are very high for a running athlete and it is possible to burn 100-150 calories per mile. Preparation before events is a key factor on how well an athlete will perform during a race.

Many training programmes can last about six months, especially if training for a marathon. This can take its toll on the body leading to muscle damage and joint inflammation. Supplements with anti- inflammation properties are ideal for running athletes. Protein is vital for a runner, as during heavy training an athlete can need as much protein as a strength athlete. As athletes tend to run daily, they are going to be causing muscle damage and so it is necessary to provide plenty of protein to allow these muscles to recover.
