The Importance of Fueling Practice

Properly practicing fueling during training runs is crucial for marathon preparation. Runners need to train their bodies to metabolize carbohydrates while maintaining their pace, making it essential to incorporate fueling strategies into their training cycles. Simply relying on a plan for race day without prior practice can lead to unpleasant gastrointestinal issues. A consistent routine allows runners to identify what works best for their bodies, minimizing the risk of negative reactions on race day.
