What runner doesn’t hate running injuries? Often time it takes us getting injured before we even begin to research what changes we should make to heal quickly and prevent them from coming back. The most common topics when it comes to injury prevention are:
- Wearing the right shoes
- Increasing your mileage gradually.
- Following a balanced training plan that includes hard days, easy days and rest or active recovery days.
- Incorporating strength training and consistent stretching.
But there is one other area that must be considered when it comes to recovering from injuries and injury prevention and that is the quality and type of the foods you eat on a daily basis. Watch the video below to learn why a healthy diet should be an essential part of your training program.

I made your Sweet Pumpkin Chili and it was absolutely delicious. I would like to make a batch for my parents but need your suggestions on variations because my mother is allergic to Rosemary, nutmeg and oregano. One of the ingredients in the Pumpkin Pie mix is nutmeg.
Hi Vicki,
So glad you enjoyed the Sweet Pumpkin Chili. I think what I would do is use a can of plain pumpkin puree instead of the Pumpkin Pie Mix. Before you add it to the chili add the other spices (cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves and allspice) plus sugar and just leave out the nutmeg. You can either do it to taste or perhaps you can google a pumpkin pie mix for the amount of each seasoning to use. I’m eager to know how it turns out, so let me know!
