Army Ten-Miler Runner Recipes Army Ten-Miler runners lead busy lives. Between working, training, and spending time with friends and family, we would rather call the local pizza place then spend time putting together a healthy dinner. However, as competitive athletes, it is important to maintain a balanced diet to fuel up for the miles we spend pounding the pavement. Each month, we will post a new runner-friendly recipe that is fast, nutritious, easy to make, and tastes delicious. Instead of reaching for the yellow pages, spend some fun time in the kitchen and whip up an Army Ten-Miler Runner Recipe!
