What Gabriela DeBues-Stafford eats in a day
How to eat like a Canadian record-holder
Gabriela DeBues-Stafford is the Canadian 5,000m and mile indoor record-holder. The 23-year-old distance stud is currently finishing her degree in psychology at the University of Toronto and training under Andy Young, who also coaches Olympic finalist Laura Muir. Stafford has a very busy schedule between school, running and trying to make another World Championship team. But if you’re running at the intensity that Stafford does, nutrition can’t take a back seat.

Workout:
An hour and a half before my workout I have a banana and as soon as I’m done cooling down I have an apple and a protein shake. A typical workout for me is something like 15x300m with 45 seconds rest.
