Marathon Fueling Strategy

[elijahcandler]

Did anyone else think those 3 green gels were a head of lettuce? 😂

[johnnymember]

No wonder I started cramping at mile 23. I didn’t take any of that stuff lol. Just water and gatorade at aid stations…

[Jamie-qbzr]

I must be the only one who runs fueled by what ever i ate the night before 😅

[KeepFocus]

Thanks for sharing your fuel implementation plan.

This makes me feel like I really need to increase my sodium the day of and during the race. I'm always worried about taking too much sodium but I've been taking far less than this

[ibhaskars]

Are you running a marathon or travelling with luxury

[jonathanshih]

People are ridiculous with their comments. Thank you for sharing! I think those gels have 40g carbs have you used anything else in the past? I'm running my first marathon and having been gelling with 21g every 30 min but wondering if I need to up my sugars

This is all bs, back in my day we ran marathons using cigs and chewing tobacco

[jonathanpangilinanjr.]

I really want to know the marathon time for the "old school" way.

Anyway, thanks for the tips! I can't run a marathon yet but I found myself being inconsistent during 10k runs. Preparing for the big race is still covered by a fog of mystery for me. Thanks for clearing some of it!

You dont need all that, just experience and mental thouthness

[applecidervinegar]

Waiting around for 2+ hours before even a 5k, let alone a marathon, would probably kill my desire to run.

[halcon]

yes, yes I do the same. But I got up at three in the morning the day before

[OnlyPanss]

Does anyone run marathons the old school way anymore? Without all this fuel during the race? I get it and I’m all for it but cmon there has to be an end lol

[BrianErwin]

i cramp on an eight mile run after consuming 3500mg of sodium the day before.. i can only imagine how much i would need for a marathon. they say it depends on how much salt we sweat, and i sweat a lot.

[dsmer]

I ran a marathon fueled by eating and hydrating well the week before, oatmeal before the race. No gels. Never used gels.

[mingllle]

I ran 100 laps nonstop last time believe it or not at at the Carlsbad high school 🏁

[CarlHove]

Bro us literally eating and entire meal during marathon

[rhamsesquiroz]

Question. How are you carrying all of this is there a running fanny pack that you can recommend?

[Gusando]

Thats a lot of supplements whats your times

[harleyzeth]

My biggest little helper for my marathon was a tin of Zyns
