Vitamin B12 is one of those nutrients that may not

Vitamin B12 is one of those nutrients that may not be on your radar unless you’re a vegan or vegetarian 🌱 . It’s in meat, so most people get plenty of it, but what about those who choose to abstain from animal products? Are they destined for deficiency or can they get it from other sources?

B12 is necessary for the proper formation of red blood cells, nerves and DNA. Not to mention that Vitamin B12 provides energy 💥 for everyday functions. Since it plays a role in energy production, it’s also crucial that athletes get enough Vitamin B12 in their diet.

A deficiency of Vitamin B12 in the diet can lead to a variety of problems, including anemia, tingling in the hands and feet, fatigue, memory loss, and hallucinations or paranoia.

Which do you prefer? To be honest, I use whole wheat flour often because I like that it has more protein and fiber than white flour, and it just tastes more substantial. That said, the nutrition stats are pretty similar. And if you’re making a baked good where taste matters more than nutrition, you may want to opt for white flour!

Admittedly, I haven’t gone for a “long run”

Admittedly, I haven’t gone for a “long run” in a while (since my sprained ankle), but I know many of you are training for longer races 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️in 2021. That’s why I think this is a great time for a refresher on how to fuel during a long run!

After 60 minutes of movement, you’ll want to take in about 30-60 grams of carbohydrates for every additional hour of exercise. Some people find it hard to eat that amount all at once, so they spread it out over 15-minute blocks. These options are all easy to digest and portable fuel for long runs.

A few things to keep in mind:
1️⃣Pair everything on this list with a healthy gulp of water. Although these options help keep energy levels up, they won’t all keep you hydrated.
2️⃣If you opt for whole food sources of fuel, be mindful of fiber. Foods like banana, dates and sweet potatoes do have some fiber, which means they take longer to digest than your standard sports products.
3️⃣Experiment with different options during training to find out what works best for you.
4️⃣Head to the #linkinbio to grab the list of 20 mid-run fueling options so you don’t hit the wall.
