Nutrition strategy

Every nutrition strategy starts with understanding how many calories you need to eat.

A good estimation to start is to aim for 250-300kcal every hour.

Once you have that number, you have to start practicing. The earlier, the better.

Practice during endurance or long runs (not interval workouts). The closer you get to the race, the more you should practice at race intensity.

You not only need to get better at digesting calories, but you also need to become more calorie-aware. You need to know exactly how many gels, bars, drinks, or pieces of candy you need to hit your calorie mark.

If you don’t, you’re leaving your race day performance up to chance.
