Thank you vickstertri for sharing this! I think so many HS and college athletes can relate. 
Also, thank you for being such a fierce competitor and pushing me to be my best❤️ #Repost vickstertri with repostapp

In college I spent a lot of time staring at shalaneflanagan's backside. Great battles, albeit always lost by me, raised the bar and made me a better athlete. While many athletes were depriving their bodies through fear, Shalane seemed to exude confidence. I remember the pre race day banquets where she would be first up to the dessert table while I sat there stunned, absolutely terrified of the prospect of cake! Then she went out and kicked all our starving butts the next day which says it all really. Happy to have come full circle now and love nourishing my body with the fuel it needs. Thanks for sharing the secrets of your success - superhero muffins! Thought I'd get in on the action and bake some myself. I have anglicised the recipe for all you Brits out there! We don't do "cups" and "zucchini" over here 😜 
230g ground almonds
140g gluten free oats
90g raisins
60g walnuts
2tsp cinnamon
1/2tsp nutmeg 
1/2tsp sea salt
3 eggs
1 grated courgette
2 grated carrots
90g melted butter
75g maple syrup
50g brown sugar/stevia
Vanilla pod

Combine wet ingredients, gradually add dry ingredients. Bake at 180degrees for 25-35mins. Recipe says makes 12 but mine made 19! Pretty awesome.
