                                According to a study published in *Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise*, endurance runners on a high-protein diet ran a 5k 1.5% faster after four days than those on a lower intake, hinting at a surprising benefit for performance. This suggests the question, 'Can protein make you faster?' is more complex than simply fueling with carbs.
