Running Energy Bars & Protein Bars

Running bars fall into two basic categories: carbohydrate loading energy and protein based recovery.

Protein-packed bars are perfect for post race/run, offering a handy way to get much needed nutrients back into your body, ideally within 20 mins of exercise, and kick-start recovery.

Carbohydrate bars (generally called energy bars) are lighter on the stomach and work well as a pre-race/run snack – ideal if you have to travel to a race – or an energy supplement during a long run, especially good for day-long adventure races.
