Why this exists
“I'm not a nutritionist. I'm a runner who kept getting this part wrong.”
— Sam
Runner, and the person building Runner's Plate
Every training plan I've followed tells me exactly what to run. Six easy. Eight with the last two at pace. Rest. Not one of them ever told me what to eat, and the internet has an infinite supply of confident, contradictory answers.
What bothers me is that the science here isn't actually unsettled. Carb loading has been well understood for decades. It's arithmetic on your bodyweight and your mileage. Nobody had just done that math and handed me a plan I could follow on a Tuesday night with what was already in my fridge.
So I built the thing I wanted. No logging, no macro spreadsheets, no pretending you're a professional triathlete. Your week, your body, your kitchen, and a straight answer about what to eat and when.
