Perhaps you’ve just started increasing your mileage, or you’ve just started the Couch to 5K program. Or maybe you’ve recently become a morning runner – or work causes you to run in the evenings now. No matter what the circumstance – trying to figure out how to fuel properly before and during a run can be difficult!
So I’ve created a vlog with how I fuel before and during a run!
The biggest piece of advice I can give is to find out what works for YOU! I quickly learned that GU gels were not for me. I also know that having a gluten intolerance makes things a little more difficult. However – it is important for you to try out options to determine what fuel is best for you. (Just make sure you figure it out prior to your big race!)

Yesterday was a cross training day – so I did 45 minutes of hill intervals on the elliptical. It was nice to work the legs (while watching a movie), but my hip started to bother me a little bit. That means a lot of stretching and foam rolling in my near future!
I also did some strength training for my upper body. Below is what it included…
Feel free to use this circuit for your own upper body workout!
