It is recommended to eat about 1.5 hours before your run to give your body time to digest and provide your body with needed energy. It is recommended to eat roughly 30-45 minutes after your workout. Fuel tired muscles with our GU energy drink mixes, gel and chews created for daily graining. They contain carbohydrates to keep you fueled, electrolytes that aid in hydration and amino acids that reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage. Try Honey Stinger energy chews and waffles for an energy boost on the go. You can easily store all of your snacks as you run with a handy Spibelt that clips at your waist for hands-free convenience.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-7190 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sportinglife.ca\/blog\/get-out-run-first-time-runner\/guenergy\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GuEnergy-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"GuEnergy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-7196\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GuEnergy-150x150.jpg 150w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GuEnergy-100x100.jpg 100w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GuEnergy-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-7196'>\n\t\t\t\tGuEnergy &#8211; In Store Only\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sportinglife.ca\/blog\/get-out-run-first-time-runner\/honeystinger\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HoneyStinger-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-7197\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HoneyStinger-150x150.jpg 150w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HoneyStinger-300x300.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HoneyStinger-768x768.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HoneyStinger-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HoneyStinger-100x100.jpg 100w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HoneyStinger-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-7197'>\n\t\t\t\tHoney Stinger &#8211; In Store Only\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sportinglife.ca\/blog\/get-out-run-first-time-runner\/24110280_lime_green_3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/24110280_LIME_GREEN_3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The Original SPIBelt\u2122\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-7218\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/24110280_LIME_GREEN_3-150x150.jpg 150w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/24110280_LIME_GREEN_3-300x300.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/24110280_LIME_GREEN_3-768x768.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/24110280_LIME_GREEN_3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/24110280_LIME_GREEN_3-100x100.jpg 100w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/24110280_LIME_GREEN_3-200x200.jpg 200w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/24110280_LIME_GREEN_3.jpg 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-7218'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Original SPIBelt\u2122\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sportinglife.ca\/blog\/stay-warm-winterlude\/blank-space\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/blank-space-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/blank-space-150x150.png 150w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/blank-space-100x100.png 100w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/blank-space.png 157w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Hydration is just as important as being well-fueled.
