    Brown Rice

    Its carbs give you energy, while the fiber keeps you feeling full. Avoid cramps by giving yourself about an hour to digest before you run.

    Pineapple

    Chow down on this fruit after a run: It's loaded with bromelain, which acts as a natural anti-inflammatory that could accelerate muscle repair.

    Greek Yogurt

    Eat it often: The calcium keeps bones strong to help ward off stress fractures (a common injury); the protein means quicker muscle recovery.

    Peanut Butter

    A tablespoon (high in muscle-fueling protein and healthy fats for sustained energy) spread on a piece of whole-grain toast can power up your run.

    Berries

    nack on 'em anytime, fresh or frozen — their antioxidants can work to help promote a healthy heart and might even stave off soreness.
