Episode 80 Marathon Fueling for runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn how to fuel as a marathon runner running a marathon 6 hours or longer.

Avoid the top mistake that runDisney marathon runners make when fueling so you don’t bonk at 18 miles and hit a wall.

Aim for 60-90 grams of carbs per 60-90 minutes you’re out on the marathon race course. You can fuel with honey stinger waffles because they’re about 21 grams of carbs so you can eat one of those every 20 minutes to stay on top of it.

I review symptoms you may have if you’re behind on fueling and hydration. I review other options to use as fuel and how many grams of carbs they have per unit.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
