To keep energy levels high whilst running experts recommend that you get enough protein regardless of the fact that your doing weights or cross country! Your body will be under stress and to repair itself you will need plenty of protein - the recommended dose is 1.5g per kg of bodyweight. Additionally eating complex carbohydrates such as bread, pasta and rice help release energy into the bloodstream at a slower rate giving you sustained energy and reducing the temptation to snack on high calorie foods such as sweets and chocolate. Within 15mins of training a glucose energy replacement drink will help restock fuel and a glucose drink is ideal as it rapidly enters the bloodstream and be absorbed quickly accelerating recovery.
