Ask Trainers: I am wondering what are some good healthy and nutritious options for the fuel belt and also any nutrition suggestions for before and after running? Also, do you know of any knee strengthening exercises?

I am also currently training to run my first marathon in March. So far I have only completed 5 and 10ks, so i haven’t had to consider a fuel belt. However, with training for a marathon, I need to start eating/drinking while running. I am wondering what are some good healthy and nutritious options for the fuel belt and also any nutrition suggestions for before and after running.

In addition, knee strengthening exercises would be great as well.

Thanks and happy christmas!

Ask Trainers: Do you have an suggestions on how to increase my veggie intake and make them taste better without making them bad for me? Also, is there a good multipurpose sneaker for various types of exercising (bootcamp, spinning, running) so I don’t have to buy several pairs?

I struggle to eat as many vegetables as I probably should, and when I do eat them, I find myself avoiding the temptation to add butter, salt, or cheese to make them taste better. Do you have any ideas on how to up my veggie intake while making them more palatable?

Also, I like to change my workouts–bootcamp, spinning, running, etc., but I’ve read that it’s not good to wear the same type of sneakers for all workouts. Since I’m on a bit of a budget, I can’t afford different pairs of sneakers for my variable workouts; any suggestions for one multipurpose pair?

Thanks so much! And thanks for an awesome Christmas workout last night:)
