People who are very active, especially those who train frequently, generally require more protein than those who don't.
However, most people in Ireland eat more protein than they need, so even our top runners should be getting enough protein. This means there should be no need for you to increase the amount you eat, and generally speaking there is no need to buy expensive protein supplements.

| Instead, focus on the type of protein you eat. Join us again next week when we look at fat in our mini-marathon eating plan. Keep training! |
