I chose to search “Refueling after a long run” for this assignment. I searched using the Boolean method of “and” – “Refuel + After + Long Run.” I am currently training for a marathon and I am looking for information on refueling after my long runs (60+ minutes of running). I thought this to be the perfect time to get more information on refueling.
Overall, the results from all six of the search engines were very similar. They pulled from many running sites, both large communities or businesses and small. Runner’s World and My Fitness Pal were the most common between the six search engines. The one search engine that had more variety in its results was Meta Crawler. Meta Crawler also provided news articles in my search results. I removed ads, images, and maps for my results.
