🩵 What I ate the day before my long run 🏃‍♀️

I rarely post “day on a plate” videos because what works for me might not work for you and honestly, it changes all the time 😂

But here’s what yesterdays fuel looked like when high carb + low fibre was the goal. In no order fuel that was eaten ⬇️

🥣 Coco Pops (yep 😂 don’t come at me. If you need 20g carb and keep fibre low, 20g coco pops nails it! + Rokeby milk, I used 1/2 bottle for carb and protein. Don’t use if you have gut issues as the carrageenan can be inflammatory for some. It’s not an every day recommendation from me.

🍳 Eggs on white (low fibre) sourdough with microgreens, cucumber, tomato, avocado, pumpkin seeds & feta.

🍓 Yoghurt with berries + soy protein crisps for an extra protein boost.

🥪 Chicken salad sandwich ( of course 🥪).

🥤 Banana & mango smoothie with protein powder, creatine & electrolytes (because I’m a salty runner 🧂🏃‍♀️).

💊 Magnesium with nutrients for my nervous system and immune support.

Result, run felt ridiculously hard as it was a 20k hill run but my energy levels were good during and after 🙌🏼

Today it’s back to wholegrains, fibre, and all the colourful fruit & veg 🌈

🍒 Tart cherry juice

Great in athletes for inflammation, recovery and sleep but also amazing for times of hormone shifts aka perimenopause/menopause.

It’s a fruit that offers nutrients that can support sleep, mood, and recovery.

1️⃣ It’s a natural source of melatonin
Tart cherries contain the same hormone your body makes to fall asleep. During menopause, melatonin production naturally declines, which is one reason sleep gets tricky.
👉 A glass before bed may help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

2️⃣ It supports serotonin (your feel-good neurotransmitter)
Tart cherries have tryptophan which is the building block of serotonin.
😴 Low serotonin = low melatonin = restless nights.

3️⃣ It’s anti-inflammatory
Packed with anthocyanins (the compounds that give cherries their deep red colour), tart cherry juice helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
🔥 Less inflammation = better joints, calmer body, easier rest.

4️⃣ It supports heart & metabolic health ❤️
Some studies show it can help with blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose control. All of which need a little extra care post 40.
