In last weeks Episode 3 of the Autumn Marathon podcast, our focus was on Fueling and the importance of treating fueling as a key part of our training week and not just a logistical item to work out for race day. Some of the key aspects we discussed were:

• Fuelling is trained, not planned

• The gut adapts progressively, like everything else

• Duration decides the demand, not distance

• Practise the race version, not the convenient version

• Under-fuelling shows up as a training problem before it shows up as a nutrition one.

In Episode 2 we discussed why effective marathon training needs to feel "easy" as well as how to grow your marathon engine through consistent aerobic work that you can repeat and absorb daily, weekly and monthly.

We also chatted about how to build the long run without wrecking the rest of the week and indeed the entire marathon build!
