Season 2 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

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.
