Snacks between long workouts

Protein plus a carbohydrate you already digest, written down for two weeks so you can see what sits well.

A long workout snack is a bridge. Yogurt and fruit, a smoothie, or oat bites with a banana are ordinary options. Two bites of peanut oats alone are not a meal. Look at the portion.

Write the time and how the session felt for two weeks on the snack log. Change one thing if something bothers your stomach. Do not rebuild the entire diet from one bad run.

This is not a race-day fueling plan. Those are individual. If you have a coach or a sports dietitian, their plan outranks a blog. The kitchen's job is to have the food ready so the plan is edible.

The food list is snacks for training days.
