Can anyone recommend a cookbook with weekly meal plans suitable for a running program

Can anyone recommend a cookbook that would contain weekly meal plans that are suitable for some one on a running and weight training program.

I am considering either of Derval O Rourke's books but thought I'd ask here in case there are other options.

I have a reasonably good grasp of the nutrition required but need help with the weekly planning of meals.

Thank you

You could try Anita Bean: The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition. Lots in it. Maybe borrow it from the library first to see if it suits.

That would be my suggestion too. She also has The Runner's Cookbook.

Thanks both, I'll check those out.

Edit:

I forgot to ask does the runners cookbook definitely have weekly meal plans or does it just cover specific meal recipes?

Hi. Complete Guide has plans for certain amounts of calories per day. Meals for breakfast, lunch et. Within that are various choices so just rotating them gives best part of a week. Recipes given in separate chapter. Don’t know about the other one. I’d say the library to check it out or just spend a bit of time in Waterstones looking through it. Don’t know the cost. Lucky enough to be given it as a present.

If memory serves, the cookbook is more for recipes than a weekly plan. Good to have in the kitchen cupboard nonetheless.
