Fueling for performance doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require intention.

The day before my half marathon, every meal had a purpose: topping off glycogen, staying hydrated, and keeping digestion simple. Carbohydrates to fill the tank, electrolytes to stay balanced, and foods I know my body handles well. Nothing fancy and nothing new.

Pre-race was about the same thing: quick, easily digestible carbs, electrolytes, fluids, some supplements and a little caffeine to wake the system up. By the time the gun went off, the goal was simple, have enough energy available so the legs could do their job.

Proper fueling won’t replace training, but because of how I approached my fueling, I was able to make up for the lack of training I did for this race and rely on the fitness I knew I had. If you want to perform your best, you have to take nutrition seriously.

1:34:36 finish. Tank emptied.
