Nutrition Strategies for Boston Marathoners (webinar)
If you don’t have time to view the webinar, here is a list of the top ten takeaways:
  • Use the performance plates described as a guide for meals; match your plate to your training
  • Aim for even-sized meals throughout the day; avoid saving most of your food for the end of the day
  • Surround your training with fuel
  • Training >60-90 minutes, you need fuel during the run
  • Find what works for you and your body
  • Refuel ASAP after training, within 45 minutes ideally, drinking a smoothie or chocolate milk will buy you some time
  • Training and fueling wisely are essential to marathon preparation at all stages of your training cycle, the earlier you nail it down the better
  • Think of your gut as another muscle you are training
  • You will always feel better and run better with a diet that supports your training
