Long miles need fuel. 🌱🏃

Carbohydrates help power your workouts—and plants offer plenty of ways to keep your tank topped up.

🥣 BEFORE: Start with a meal you digest comfortably, like oats, toast, or rice. 🍌 DURING: Keep fuel handy for longer efforts. Bananas, dates, rice balls, or gels can help you keep going. 🍠 AFTER: Refuel with carbs and plant protein to support recovery.

Our blog, “Carbs Are Your Friend: How to Fuel Long Workouts on Plants,” breaks down fueling before, during, and after training, plus three recipes to try.

👉 Read the full guide at veganpoweredathlete.com under Blog.

Sometimes the biggest victories aren’t measured by miles, finish times, or medals. They’re measured by showing up, putting one foot in front of the other, and finding your way back. 💚💪

Our teammate Jessica Hollywood Ⓥ has been working through some challenges, learning more about her body, adjusting her running, and slowly finding her groove again. Through it all, she’s grateful to still be moving, getting in those long runs, and having an amazing tribe and support system cheering her along.

And we’ve got some exciting news… SHE’LL BE BACK! 🙌 She’ll be rejoining Team VPA for 2027!

We’re so happy to have you back on the team! Here’s to new beginnings, continued progress, and plenty of miles ahead. Sometimes the comeback is the best part of the journey! 🌱🏃‍♀️💚
