Whether you’re new to running and training for your first event - or you’ve already ticked off a few big races, nutrition can feel like a bit of a minefield.
There’s no shortage of websites, AI tools or apps offering advice. But it’s not always easy to work out what genuinely matters, what’s just background noise, or whether you’re being coerced into buying a product or supplement you don’t actually need.
Carb gels, hydration, electrolytes, caffeine… these topics are all covered in huge depth online.

Is this evidence-based guidance or just clever marketing?
That’s exactly why this page exists.
Below you’ll find answers to the most common nutrition questions runners ask during training. Click on the topic that reflects what you’re currently worrying about and you’ll get clear, practical advice — simple guidance designed to help you fuel properly and run with confidence
