I remember many years ago when I was first dating my partner, Robert, I was his support crew on a 6 day race! Now this was no ordinary race which went from point A to point B no! It was round and round a 400m track for 6 days!!! 4 hours one way then a bell would ring and everyone would turn and run in the other direction! The idea was the runner who covered the most distance in the time was the winner!!!!
Anyway as I said I was his one and only support crew member so was responsible for everything from cooking, keeping records, getting supplies and tending to all his aches and pains!! “Nursing duties”. I had to keep an accurate record of his daily food intake following a very strict diet set-out by long distant runners and research paper written on the subject of nutrition for distant running!!! This involves me preparing carbohydrate loaded meals at regular intervals between all my other tasks!

So this is what I mean when I say that there is no one rule that fits every person, you need to listen to what your body tells you and adjust your diet to suit.
Making smart choices about the type, time and quantity of food you eat is important to everyone’s wellbeing, but even more so, once you start to exercise!
Great story. I have learned this myself over the last 3 months. Have a great day.
