Under the bright Oregon sky at the 50th Prefontaine Classic, the Kenyan middle-distance legend broke her own world record in the womenβs 1,500m, clocking 3:48.68, to lower the 3:49.04 mark she set just one year ago in Paris.
One of the most common questions I get from runners, beginners and seasoned athletes alike, is: βHow long should I wait after eating before I run?β
The truth is, thereβs no one-size-fits-all answer. The ideal waiting time depends on the type of run, the duration, the time of day, and what youβve eaten.
To be a strong, fit, and healthy runner, there is more to running than just running.
Our training plan jigsaw puzzle has so many different pieces to ensure we stay happy and healthy throughout our workout routine.
Some of these essential components include warming up, stretching, strength training, sports massage, healthy eating, mobility work, sufficient sleep, hydration, and, you guessed it, cross-training.
Whether you train exclusively based on your heart rate or just like to have a general idea during your workouts, noticing a higher-than-expected heart rate can raise questions.
When these patterns show up, itβs often a sign to examine factors like your stress level, recovery, sleep, hydration, training plan, and pacing, all of which can elevate your heart rate.
