Boost your run!
Running seems like a simple thing. It’s the most human of movements if you think about it, move your legs faster than normal and now you’re not walking, you’re running!
But as many of you know, with custom-made laser measured shoes, technical clothes that prevent injuries and the latest in high-tech heart rate monitors and such – the simple act of running can be made into one of the most complicated things imaginable. Luckily the fuel you need to keep going, can be super simple, here’s how. At The Cycle Bistro, we are all about providing people with food that is good for you. We provide you with fuel, giving your body its optimum nutrients, without giving your body bad things that will waste energy to get rid of.
Let’s analyze something like running. Fluid intake is, of course, important, that we don’t need to mention. Especially in the hot summer months of the UAE, if you don’t drink enough, you will have a poor experience. And what about nutrients?
All the fancy gels, tablets, powders and ostarine supplements that are available on the market now -there is nothing that beats one good old go to food…the banana. Ideal for runners the banana is packed full of B6 vitamins, carbohydrates, and most importantly electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium to help prevent cramping. Eat one medium banana 30 minutes before you go for your run, and you’ve got a good amount of energy to power through. But if you just get bored of the everyday banana, mix it up to create a delicious banana smoothie like you’ve never had before! Also try the fiber supplements here to help your digestive system work properly and for your body to be stronger and healthier.
Ingredients
• 1 Medium Banana
• 200ml Almond Milk
• 50ml Water
• 15ml Maple Syrup
• 2 drops of Vanilla Extract
• 10 Cashew Nuts
Peel your banana, add all ingredients into a blender, together with some ice, and blend until super smooth.
You can use coconut milk if you want, but that will make it heavier, with a risk of upsetting your stomach during a run so be careful with that!
Fun tip: Freeze the banana, and use the same quantities of everything else. Blend to make a super healthy and surprisingly creamy homemade ice cream!
