Back in the Fall, I shared a great round up of Fall Inspired Carb Loading Recipes in honor of the Fall race season so it was only fitting that I do the same for Spring race season now too!
While I was just saying yesterday that no way will I start experimenting with new foods before a race, it’s always good to have some new and tasty recipes using the foods we runners already eat on a regular basis. We may get bored with our plain old oatmeal and banana so why not try using our runner-friendly staples another way, especially this time of year when we are feeling the bright, sunny and fresh air of Spring.
I hope you find a fresh new recipe here that you get excited about while fueling your muscles in a healthy and satisfying way. Have a good weekend!
