Make sure you've always got a healthy snack to eat before and after your run, to aid performance and keep you satisfied
It's almost impossible to motivate yourself to go out for a run if you're hungry before you even open the door.
Stock up on healthy treats so you've always got a little something on hand before you set out - and for when you get back. That way you won't end up starving miles - and hours- before your next meal. Try these tasty options...
- banana
- low-fat yogurt and a piece of fruit
- toasted bagel with Marmite, jam or peanut butter
- fruit smoothie made with milk or yogurt
- 2-3 fresh Medjool dates
- bowl of plain popcorn
- slice of fruit or malt loaf
- handful of pretzels
- handful of dried fruit - raisins, apricots, figs, tropical fruit mix
- 2-3 Jaffa cakes
