ACTIVE NUTRITION FOR
RUNNING
Distance running on the track, road or trail differs from the running required for
stop-and-go sports. Being well-nourished before, during and after a run is key
to optimizing performance.

PERSONALIZED ACTIVE
NUTRITION FOR RUNNING
Runners have specific day-to-day nutrition needs based on the intensity, frequency
and duration of their training. The following steps can help you develop your athlete’s
own personalized nutrition plan.
The following content is to be used by a nutrition professional. Consult a registered dietitian to determine your individual nutrition needs.
STEP 1: Calculate Energy Needs
Energy expenditure during activity will differ based on speed, body weight and running technique, but an easy rule of thumb is
1
to estimate that that one mile of running burns approximately 100 calories. Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) takes into
account resting metabolic rate (RMR) and physical activity level, while TDEE plus energy expended during purposeful exercise
determines total energy needs.
TDEE = RMR X Physical Activity Level (PAL)*
RMR for males (kcal/day) = (9.99 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) – (4.92 x age in yrs) + 5
RMR for females (kcal/day) = (9.99 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) – (4.92 x age in yrs) – 161
Total Energy Needs = TDEE + Calories Used During Exercise
*Refer to the PAL factor table in the Active Nutrition Guide at clifbar.com/activenutritionguide for guidance.
STEP 2: Create a Custom Meal Pattern
Use the calculated energy needs to create a personalized nutrition plan. As activity duration and intensity change, so do
food and beverage needs. Carbohydrate, fat and protein needs will vary each day based on individual goals, activity length and
intensity — adjusting meals, snacks and recovery nutrition to match the day’s needs will help optimize energy and performance.
