Fuel for a marathon

Consult your physician or nutritionist for the marathon eating plan best for you. But basically, recreational runners just need to eat a regular, healthy diet. That being said, there are some things to keep in mind about eating before, during and after your training runs, especially those long ones so critical to your marathon success.

Tips for Eating at Parties
~Never go to a party hungry. You will most likely eat too much. ~Drink water and sugar-free drinks. ~Start with the fruits and vegetables first. These foods are high in fiber and will help make you full. ~Enjoy your favorite dishes, but control your portions. Make sure they fit on 1 small plate. ~Choose your favorite dessert and share it with a friend. Eating less will cut calories. Fruits, sorbets, and low-fat frozen yougurt are healthy choices that taste great. ~Don't stand near the buffet table. Talk with friends in a different room. ~Don't feel pressured to eat, eat and eat! Know how to say, "No thank you, I'm full." ~Keep active and burn some calories! Dance at parties, or go for an after meal walk with family and friends. |

On my cross country team on the night before a big race we would all go out for a huge pasta dinner to load up on carbs for the big day. I recommend bread and pasta the night before a big race.

I'm on a low-carb diet and am starting training for a marathon. Anyone else tried this combo? Is it going to make it harder to train and run longdistances?
