In this episode we break down the practices successful elite and amateur runners are using to fuel before, during, and after marathons and the longer training runs leading up to them.

 This seems to be a sensitive topic for some people, based on conversations in online running groups. This may be partly due to misunderstandings with respect to the science, which is always evolving. More importantly, I can appreciate that people do not want to be judged by what they put into their bodies.

So, my purpose with this episode is to contribute to that conversation, with the hope that it will give you more clarity. Personally, I find the science behind nutrition for training and racing to be fascinating. However, I’ll admit that there are biases, and we should respect everyone’s right to weigh the information and make their own choices.
