Fuelling your body is important pre and post race
With the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon less than a month away, it's time to consider the food that will fuel your run.
Whether the 4km, 10km or full distance 42km category, we can all make major improvements to our race if our bodies are fuelled by the best foods.
Even if you’re running a 2-10km training loop, you still need to think about when and what to eat around it.
Consider pace
If you are looking to run at a good pace, i.e. with your heart rate above 65% of your maximum, you need some carbohydrate in your system at the start.
Regardless of what time of day you run, try and have a carbohydrate snack two hours before your run if you want to run at your best performance.
These OOMF porridge pots, or Carman's at-home sachets, contain everything in one hit. Just add some banana for extra bite.
