Matt Fitzgerald explains why runners need quality nutrition for performance and recovery. DreamRunCamp partners with Evolve Eats, a fresh meal delivery service run by sports dietitian Abby Chan, for those who don't want to cook. It's available in Flagstaff and shows runners don't have to sacrifice nutrition for convenience.

Every runner knows that a high-quality diet is critical to training performance, recovery, and preventing injury and illness. But it's not always convenient to maintain a high-quality diet, especially if, like me, you don't enjoy cooking. Here at DreamRunCamp, we have a full, beautiful kitchen that runners can make use of to prepare meals for themselves. But if, like me, they don't want to cook all the time, they have another option. DreamRun Camp partnered with Evolve Eats, a local fresh meal delivery service that happens to be owned and operated by Abby Chan, who is the official sports dietitian of DreamRun Camp. Her meals are high quality, delicious, convenient, and actually very well priced. Now, the bad news for you if you're not at DreamRun Camp or don't live locally in Flagstaff is that Evolve Eats only delivers in the Flagstaff area. But I'll bet with a little bit of research you can find a rough equivalent in your area. And the important thing to keep in mind is that too many runners feel like they have to choose between high quality or convenience with their diet. But operations like Abbey Chan's Evolve Eats demonstrate that it's actually possible to have it both ways.
