Charity webinar: marathon nutrition
Mysportscience is hosting a webinar on "Marathon nutrition" for charity. In this webinar, Asker Jeukendrup will discuss fuelling your marathon training to nutrition and hydration strategies on the day of the event.
Endurance events, such as the marathon, require an appropriate nutrition and hydration plan. One of the most common mistakes is not having a nutrition plan, which can lead to a slower time, frequent stops, and even non-completion. However, another common mistake is sticking to the plan at all costs. Runners must have the knowledge to have a plan, but also the awareness to adapt on the day. This webinar will help equip you with this knowledge, so you can make a plan that is right for you.
The idea was initiated by Santiago Espinosa, who is running the 2024 Chicago Marathon for the "Shirley Ryan AbilityLab" charity, which is a non-profit, rehabilitation hospital where patients go to achieve the best recovery possible. See below for more information about the charity, and how you can donate.
