Will be reading more about nutrition in papers and such to see what food rules I am breaking and see how I might be able to make improvements in pre-exercise and post-exercise eating.

I’m very good friends with Alan, in fact I’ve had him post on here (search user name Alan Aragon), to put a few people in their place when spewing broscience. I can help you with your pre/post excercise meals, and meal timing. > [@Holy F'in sheitballs](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/holy-fin-sheitballs/30231/6): > > I just tracked my run - just over a mile, time to start improving on time and length. > > What’s the rule on protein intake? 1.5g per lb? > > I’ve had a huge jug of whey protein for years now and I can’t kill it. It also never wants to mix well with milk or water so I end up drinking chunks. Not much research out there showing that more than 1g of protein per lb is needed, but most shoot for 1.2 or so. “Enhanced” athletes have been shown to be able to take advantage of levels as high as 1.5, due to AAS increasing protein synthesis. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-cardio-thread/250880)._
