⛽️ MARATHON FUELING ⛽️ The added stress of fueling during the race is often one of the biggest variables of success in the marathon. Take the guesswork out of race day by practicing fueling during your training runs to get a plan in place! My tips for Marathon Fueling: - Start by trying what’s offered on the course (Gatorade Endurance at TCS NYC Marathon). If it works, great! You don’t have to worry about carrying fuel with you on race day. - If the provided option doesn’t work for you, try a variety of options in training and go with what feels the best for YOU. Fueling is personal, you might prefer gels to drinks, unflavored to flavored, etc. Head to your local running store and try a few brands and products. - As a good rule of thumb, shoot for about 250-300 calories per hour of racing. That’s (roughly) a gel every 3 miles for a 3 hour marathoner. - Nothing is too “weird” or unscientific. If it works for you, don’t question it! I’ve seen marathoners fuel with flat Coca Cola, baby food pouches, you name it. Less than 7 weeks to @nycmarathon. If you haven’t nailed down your fueling yet, now’s the perfect time to start! #BuildingOnBelief #TCSpartner
