Do I need to fuel every training session with sports nutrition?
Easy/Recovery run: 30 -70 min
Low-intensity running — slower than marathon pace.
Commonly used as supplementary to a main training session or as light recovery.
The low intensity does not typically require sports nutrition for fueling. If a long period has passed since eating then a light snack or Gel 15-30 minutes before could be helpful.
In hot conditions it is advised that athletes sip water.
