Sports Nutrition
It is important that athletes at every level eat correctly. Think of the athletes body as an engine. If you supply the engine with the correct nutrients (fuel) the engine should be able to perform at its optimal level. Fueling your body constantly with products that do not allow the engine run efficiently will only allow that athlete to perform at a constrained level. Basically your performance depends on what you eat. Below are a few articles regarding nutrition for running athletes.
Iron and Ferritin Levels
Iron plays an important role for any athletes performance. Iron helps the body develop red blood cells so that the hemoglobin can carry oxygen to all parts of the body. Athletes depend on quick oxygen replenishment to muscles after extensive use of those muscles. During any athletic event your muscles uses stored ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to fuel. After the resources for fuel (ATP, glycogen, myoglobin) has diminished, your muscles require oxygen to replenish its levels. Your blood helps transport oxygen. If the iron level is low (ferritin) then transportation of oxygen is not efficient.
Equipment
Running is popular throughout the world. Whether a person simply loves to run or loves to compete, the athlete needs the correct equipment to be successful. Fleet Feet is a great local store to purchase clothing, shoes, and accessories. The staff is quite knowledgeable and will help you get ready for your run or competition.
