It is really tough being a runner.  If you want to perform at your best you need to eat and drink properly, avoid excess alcohol (some would say this is none) and get plenty of sleep.

Obviously, the rewards outweigh the negatives, but how do you know you are going to get it right.

Hopefully, here at Momentum Sports we can help you out a bit.  We are working on a large Sports Nutrition section on the site (at www.momentumsports.co.uk/TtSportsNutrition.asp) which will help you see the proverbial wood from the trees.

This is quite a big subject, there is a lot there already, but we'll be adding to it in the forthcoming weeks as well.

If there is a subject that we have missed, which you feel you'd like to know about please let us know.
