Hello all, I'm currently training for a marathon and would much appreciate some advice on nutrition before my long runs! My long runs are from 15 - 20 miles... the problem is I am lost with nutrition and I am changing my scheduled long runs from
the conclusion that this is caused by simply not having enough fuel in the tank.I'm wondering if people have any tried and tested pre-run snacks they could suggest I try....Thanks! Not really tried and tested, as I usually run first thing in the morning
it would be a good place to post recipe ideas - like a good pre/post run snack or just a favourite meal what do you other forumites think??

for you, how you approach training (tempo runs, hills) and races (pre-race rituals, nutrition, etc). I know I should probably post this in the Training section where the big boys and girls live, but I'd rather engage people of a similar or slightly higher
I bought a bag of these out of boredom and slight curiosity. I find myself eating about 5 a day, they are quite addictive. They have replaced dried apricots as my pre-run snack. Do they have any nutritional value?Also, for anyone else who might
