🍌 Marathon fuelling: the plan vs reality! 🥔🏃♀️
I had my fuelling strategy all planned out: boiled potatoes, pretzels and homemade banana oat cookies. No commercial gels for me! 🙅♀️
But race day had other plans! 😂
I stuck to my boiled potatoes, but instead of my pretzels and banana oat cookies, I ended up eating 8 bananas offered along the course! 🍌🍌🍌
Sometimes you have to adapt, listen to your body and make the most of what’s available.
The most important thing? Finding a fuelling strategy that works for YOU! 💪
First marathon completed, lessons learnt, and another experience to add to the journey. ❤️🏅
