Endurance training depletes glycogen stores and loses electrolytes through sweat. The meals that actually support recovery and next-day performance need three things at once: carbohydrate volume (60g+ per meal to refill glycogen), potassium and magnesium (the electrolytes sweat strips out), and protein that's substantial but not dominant — because protein-heavy meals shift your body away from glycogen replenishment. These dishes target pasta, grain bowls, rice-based plates, and starchy vegetable dishes — the real food category built for endurance, not a protein-forward meal repurposed with a carb side. If you're training for a marathon, a half, an ultra, or just logging real weekly mileage, these are the meals that match the work.
