I am currently a very fast mile and a half runner, recently i have been doing weight training with friends and find it very rewarding. I have just started taking protein shakes and wondered if these shakes are going to have an impact on my running ability. Any answers?

Thursday, November 05, 2009 at 05:28 AMI have read that many American eat too much protein. You need to be aware of your daily requirements and whether you are also over on our intake. Lots of info out there on the negative effects of too much protein in the diet. Good luck.

Thursday, November 05, 2009 at 05:14 PMBefore I state my comment I just want you to realize that Diet and exercise is always changing. So what the Pros said ten years ago has big chances that it is false today. So this being said, Protein shakes aren't what you really think they are. If your buy a big jug of protein for around 50 or 60$ you are getting a big rip off! It cost around 50$ just to make a 20g of real protein. So the stuff they are selling you is not what you think. My advice to you is eat naturel protein item like Eggs. Eggs had have a bad reputation the last few years. One boiled egg contains 6g of protein and the yoke is good for you as oppose alot of people thinking. (stay away from cartons of white eggs hey contains absolutly nothing, its as if your eating carboard) Proteins is good for the muscle repair right after a work out. After any training it is important to take in those protein regardless what your activity is. I compete in Triathlon and after any of my workouts I just eat. Hope this help you.
Cheers

First I am glad you are asking the question. It is always wise to consider the impacts of changing your workout routine or food intake!
In order to answer this question I need to no more information, such as your average daily caloric burn, your average daily calorie intake and a food log.
Knowing this information will enable me to tell you if, and how it would effect your running.
With that said, it is not so easy to find these numbers. I am actually a day or two away from posting a shared post on this site that will show you exactly how to find this information.
So make sure you check back in a few days!
I hope this helps,
