Fueling matters just as much as the run. 

Fail to prepare = prepare to fail.

We asked Coach Anya how she fuels around a marathon 👇

Everyone’s different! find what works for you.

Before:
• Eat plenty (don’t overdo it)
• High carbs
• No new foods
• Avoid slow-digesting foods (e.g. steak, high fibre)

Morning of:
• Tried & tested breakfast
• Eat a few hours before
• Hydrate + electrolytes
• Caffeine if you’ve used it in training

After:
• ASAP: carbs + protein (e.g. chocolate milk)
• Rehydrate

Beyond:
• Balanced diet
• Eat enough to recover
• Prioritise protein

What’s your go-to fueling hack? 👇
