    FUELLING THE HALF MARATHON

    Despite the well established and scientifically proven benefits of fuelling, nutrition remains one of the biggest things that marathon runners get wrong. Fuelling can be the difference between a good race and a great race, and can be the key to unlocking your true performance potential.

    1. Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
    2. Vitamin B6 & B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

    CARBOHYDRATE LOADING FOR A HALF MARATHON

    Our body can store around 500 grams of carbohydrate, it is essential that we complete two days of a carbohydrate loading diet to increase our muscle glycogen stores before the race. This consists of low fibre foods and a significant portion of carbohydrate, in the form of carbohydrate drinks and snacks.

    It is recommended to consume a total daily carbohydrate intake of 10-12 g/kg body mass for two days before.

    THE PRE-RACE MEAL

    The pre-race meal goal is to top up your liver glycogen stores. This meal comprises of easily digestible and low fibre solids and fluids, containing around 2-3 g/kg body mass and should be consumed at least 2.5-3 hours before the start of the race.

    Runners often make the mistake of over-eating at the pre-race meal and also consume this meal too close to the race.

    FUELLING DURING THE RACE

    Consume at least equivalent to 80-120 grams per hour of carbohydrate, and from dual source formulations comprising both maltodextrin and fructose. 

    Dual source formulations increase the amount of carbohydrate that can be digested, absorbed and burned by our muscles. This fuelling target can be achieved from a mixture of drinks, gels and even solids.

    TRAINING WITH NUTRITION

    Alongside training, nutrition plays a key role in optimising performance during marathon training by fuelling your body for intense workouts, enhancing recovery and promoting training adaptations. Nutrition remains one of the biggest things that marathoners get wrong, drastically reducing the progress made during their training programme.

    EASY RUN

    Easy Runs help you build aerobic base, which plays an important role in your ability to run long distances. These are usually completed twice per week, and you should run between 8-10 km as part of these sessions.

    REBUILD AND REPAIR

    As an athlete, post-exercise protein intake is essential for repairing the muscle damage accrued during exercise, regardless of training type. In relation to endurance performance, the stress of endurance exercise creates a signal to instruct our muscles to make new proteins specialised for aerobic energy production.

    TEMPO RUNS

    Tempo Runs are key for building your body’s ability to run faster for longer.

    HIT YOUR DAILY INTAKE

    There are thousands of proteins in our bodies that perform a variety of daily functions to promote health, well-being and performance. We must consume adequate protein in our diet so that we have the relevant building blocks to make the new proteins required for our body to function. The Protein20 Bar provides 20g of high-quality protein that contributes to achieving an optimal daily protein intake.
