To run 35-40 miles a day
To run 35-40 miles a day, Hellah’s nutrition and recovery has to be on-point.
Here’s his essentials:
SUSTAIN: “I use SUSTAIN to keep me going during long runs, thanks to the electrolytes from coconut water.”
WHOLE: “For a nutritionally complete and simple breakfast, I make a smoothie using WHOLE: high in vitamins, minerals, protein, and essential fats!”
PERFORM: “Recovery is key: PERFORM after my workout is exactly what my body needs to get ready for my next run, with 25 grams of protein and BCAA’s.”
CREATINE: “I use creatine every day as it helps improve my total work capacity, and aids in recovery.”
Running for a good cause
Hellah will be using his run to raise money for Soles4souls, a top-rated non-profit charity in the USA.
The money Hellah raises will help to:
Collect new shoes and clothes and distribute them to people in need.
Support for small business owners, selling donated shoes and clothing.
Repurposing used goods, keeping them out of landfills and causing unnecessary waste.
