Here is a quick tip on how to keep your
glycogen levels topped up during your race:
As your race progresses, you should be mindful to keep fully nourished
in order to prevent your
glycogen levels from dropping too rapidly.
Depending on the organizing body of the marathon, you should generally
have food stops at the 10 and 20 mile mark. It is here that you should
eat some nourishment to keep your body fully fuelled.
The best nourishment to eat is food gels because you don't have to
waste time and energy chewing and digesting them. Other foods that are
known to keep your energy levels up are power bars, pretzels and even
sweet cookies.
You should contact the organizing body well in advance to find out at
what mileage marks the
nutrition tables will be placed out and what nourishment will be
available.
