good marathon snacks? (Read 1334 times)

Turns out the best thing to eat during a marathon is what you ate on you long training runs. I wonder why all plans have long training runs; or is it to practice race day procedures, hmmm.

 

re: long runs are to practice race day procedures

Actually, the books & articles I've read, suggest other purposes for long training runs, than just to practice race day procedures.

re: food intake

Some runners may find that their ability to digest food varies with their effort level -- e.g., being able to eat a sandwich when running easily on a training run, but not being able to eat when racing all-out.

Preparing for an ultra, are you?

Where Papayago, Mamayago faster.
