Did you know running facts – Part 21
Men run faster than women due to a number of factors: more muscle mass, bigger lung capacity, higher levels of testosterone etc… Running economy however tend to be similar.

Stay healthy, keep active and have a happy run!

Our daily food choices provide us with the energy to move and although many nutrients are involved in energy production the two main ones are carbohydrate and fat.
Glucose (obtained from carbohydrate foods) is a very efficient fuel as it can provide energy quickly, without oxygen or when oxygen is a limiting factor (high intensity running). However once we slow down and more oxygen becomes available the contribution of fat as a fuel increases.
