Marathon Food or any vigorous exercise

[Guest guest]

The goal for extended exercises is to replenish fluids and get enough good carbs

and protein to replenish muscle usage. My best bets in my fanny pack are nuts,

various trail mixes, little pieces of thin meat maybe little cheeses. whatever

does not get stuck. Chew well, very small bites, and hydrate often alternating

between water, maybe Propel or Vitamin water, and good electrolytes. At water

stops they'll have some oranges, small pieces of apples or bananas. Hey my best

idea was to take a shoestring and thread pretzels on it. You can just chew the

pretzels off. Also gives you added salt that you need on long runs/walks.

 

It's doable and a great challenge of weight loss to get back on the exercise

trend. I always am in shape and keeping the weight off while training. We all

need something to keep us going. Constantly whining about food and our fickle

bitch band is not the way to stay successful long term! 

Have a great training!
