Marathon Eating Plan

Proper food choices and eating patterns are essential components of your marathon training program. They can also have a big influence on your race results. To prevent weight loss and build your energy, endurance and stamina, the three most important things to remember when creating your marathon eating plan for training and event day are:

1. Carbohydrate Loading: train with your carbohydrate loading plan at least three times with one of your longer training runs, before race day

-Dinner the night before your event: choose a meal rich in carbohydrate like pasta or whole grains. Ex: 1.5-2cups whole grain pasta, 5 oz chicken, 2/3 cup marinara sauce OR 1.5-2 cups brown rice, 1 cup stir fried vegetables, 5 oz chicken or fish.

-You will notice that there is some protein present. You should not eat carbohydrates exclusively. The presence of protein will slow down the digestion and absorption of the meal and offer a longer energy burn.

-Snack before bed (at least 2 hours before bedtime): have an additional 1-2 cups of pasta, rice, or other whole grain.

-Morning of the event (Finish eating by 6AM. 7AM Marathon start)
ex. cup oatmeal with 1 scoop protein powder and banana
OR 2 eggs & toast with nut butter OR banana and Raw Organic bar or Lara Bar
OR banana and a bagel with 1-2 T nut butter

2. Hydration: It is not necessary to use sports drinks (electrolyte replacements) during lighter training. You can add an electrolyte replacement tablet to your water or use 20% real fruit juice to 80% water for more intense workouts and practice runs.

-You need to sip water consistently throughout the evening and morning leading up to the race. You do not need to overdo this. Sip an additional glass through the evening and one in the morning. Do not drink a glass of water all at once within an hour of your race.

-No food or drink by mouth for one full hour before race time.

3. Train with Event Sponsored Food and Beverages: You need to train for at least three weeks leading up to the event using the event sponsored beverages and food that will be offered on race day.

The Rock N Roll Marathon, Seattle is being sponsored by Cytomax (makes Muscle Milk) and Gu Energy.

-If you train with water (or any Sports Drink), for example, and on race day you drink the event sponsored drink there is a very good chance that you will get a stomach ache, side ache or have your race affected in some other negative way. Every sports nutritionist will tell you that even if this is a switch from Powerade to Gatorade, this affect will occur.

Seattle nutritionist Angela Pifer has been writing professionally since 2005, with her work published on MSN Health and Kashi.com. Pifer creates custom Seattle Weight Loss programs in her private practice with offices in Bellevue and Seattle, WA. Pifer holds Masters of Science in nutrition from Bastyr University, where she is also adjunct faculty.

Marathon Motivation

On Monday, May 25, 2009 I had the pleasure of watching my boyfriend cross the finish line for the LA Marathon. It was an amazing event. Minus of course some misdirection and rerouting – all in all it was a pretty smooth event. It was nice and overcast all morning; perfect weather for a marathon in Los Angeles. I can’t tell you what it’s like to train for an event like this or even run it, well maybe not yet. What I can tell you is how motivating and inspiring it is just being there.

We stayed the night in a historic hotel downtown. I think it might be haunted. That’s a whole other story, but some other time. We had to stay since the race began at seven am. The wake up call was set for five. Excited we sprang from bed turned on the news and got ready as fast as possible. (Plus I just wanted to get out of that hotel.) Parking was close and easy. Next stop just a little more coffee and off to the start line. There was energy in the air you could almost taste it. Or maybe that was the remnants of the bad coffee we made in the hotel. People were bustling about early in the closed off streets of downtown Los Angeles.

Finally, we hit the gate- only runners beyond this point. I give him a kiss and wish him luck. It will be about four hours before I see him at the finish line. I head off to find my spot. This is where all the redirection and crowd dodging begins. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement. People are smiling and I can’t help but smile too. People have signs cheering on friends and loved ones. There are people in costume. There are groups with t-shirts made just for this occasion. I make my way to the start or somewhere close to the starting line.

I nestle in under a television camera up on a boom. The race begins and the enthusiasm is unleashed. Now I have a burst of energy. I decide it’s time to find my spot at the finish line. I know the race just started but I am a short girl and I need to make my claim quick. I have my own strategy to be able to see the finish and then make my way to the designated locations to meet the runners. My marathon begins.

It takes me a little time to find just the right spot but I have plenty of that. While I wait to see him cross the finish line I witness several amazing finishes. Of course the winner who finished at two hours and eight minutes. Next there was one of the wheel chair racers whose modified bike was apparently not working. Someone towed his bike along side of him while he used his walker to cross the finish line. The crowd roared as he made his way cross the line. The closer he came the louder we got. It was incredibly inspiring and touching.

Next I saw a young boy, my guess he was 11, but he finished the marathon. I saw man carrying a drink tray like a server as well as a Spartan, or a man in a Spartan costume wrap up the race. Some people still had amazing amounts of energy to sprint to the finish in hopes to beat the runner next to them. While others were fueled by sheer determination; like the man I saw crawling towards the finish. Another runner came back to help the man up and complete the marathon. I then saw my boyfriend cross the finish! Of course I was the loudest person there for that moment. Then I was off to swoop him up and drive us home.

As we got to the car we shared our inspiring moments from the perspective of runner and spectator. It was incredible. I was so glad that I was able to be there for him and witness such an amazing event as a marathon. I am definitely inspired. Not necessarily to run a marathon but to action without a doubt. The people I witnessed crossing the finish gave me a glimpse of the endless possibilities in life. Now what I do with that is up to me.

The Pattaya Marathon 2009

Being one of the most popular but also hardest marathon courses, the Pattaya Marathon 2009 is definitely not for the light-hearted. It is one of the most famous courses and events in Thailand, even more popular than the Pukkhet Marathon. It is organised every year, attracting thousands of runners from all over Thailand and many other Western countries. There are three races; the full course which is 42 kilometres, the half course, which is twenty one kilometres and the quarter marathon which is ten kilometres.

 

Pattaya is a large tourist centre, known for the amazing beaches, the bustling night life and the beautiful women. Lately, Thai officials and Associations have decided to broaden the appeal of the seaside resort, organising a series of events and activities that can attract more locals and international visitors. The idea is to promote a different side of Pattaya, enhancing its social profile. It is known all over in Thailand that Pattaya has always been an example to follow; it is a place that effuses enjoyment and pleasure. Its residents are always happy and enthusiastic about organizing different social events, thus, sport activities could not be left behind.

It runs through hills and follows the picturesque beach road which adds to the appeal and the enjoyment of the event. Locals are avid sport activists and prepare for this event religiously, but the marathon in Pattaya is a challenge for the foreigners and visitors. It is surprising how many tourists participate in this event every year – last year it is estimated that the 40% of the runners were foreigners or visitors from other cities and regions of Thailand.

 

Pattaya Marathon 2009 invites people from all over the world to participate. The several events organised during the marathon course, give a notion of gayness and fun, encouraging people to join the several different courses, even if they are not sport enthusiasts. The participation into something so unique is a prize on its own. Not all individuals can handle the tough route with the numerous hills and the steep inclines, however the quarter course is considered to be relatively easier and more comfortable and runs through the scenic Beach road.

 

The route of the Pattaya Marathon 2009 will wind from Jomtien to a half way spot and will return back to the lovely beach road through the Pattaya hills – this is supposed to be the hardest part of the full marathon course. Very conveniently the Marathon will finish on the Beach Road, offering spectacular views both to the participants and their supporters.

 

The winners, first to fifth, of the Pattaya Marathon 2009 will receive a trophy and honorary memorabilia and medals , while the participants who will break the local marathon record will also receive a money prize (of 100000 Thai baht). Everyone who participates to the one of the Marathon courses and finish within six hours will receive a certificate.

Your Personal Marathon

Marathon running is a sport that began in 1896 at the first modern Olympics held in Athens, Greece. Today, marathon road racing is big business. The Boston Marathon attracts about 20,000 participants. The New York City Marathon is twice as large, with more than 40,000 runners. Successful marathoners train for 4-6 months to be able to complete the 26-mile run and cross the finish line on their own two feet.
 
Marathon running is not for everyone, but the principles of successful marathon running can apply to all. If we conceive of a personal “marathon” as completing 6 months of a health-and-wellness program, we may accomplish a task as big and impactful as completing a 26-mile “regular” marathon.
 
In choosing your personal marathon, you may select an area of need or an area of interest. Often the two will intersect. For example, you could choose to commit the next 6 months to eating fresh fruits and vegetables every day. You could choose to consume an appropriate amount of well-balanced calories every day for the next 6 months (probably somewhere in the range of 1500 to 2000 calories per day). Or you could choose to begin a walking-for-exercise program, gradually building up to walking 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for the next 6 months. There is a wide variety of choices. The key is to choose an activity that is important and meaningful to you. Otherwise, your commitment probably won’t last for more than a couple of months, if that.
 
What will you get out of your personal marathon? First, discovering that you can set and then successfully achieve a long-term goal creates tremendous self-confidence. Many actual marathoners report that they were transformed by the process of completing their commitment and achieving their goal. Some marathoners had never run any kind of race at all prior to their 26-mile journey-of-a-lifetime. The personal power generated by leaping into the unknown and overcoming numerous obstacles is substantial. Applying this personal power to other areas of your life may lead to numerous unexpected and rewarding positive outcomes.
 
Next, you will likely derive substantial health benefits (the original goal of the process). Our bodies are remarkably adaptive mechanisms. They will change over time in accordance with our habits and activities. Consuming the right amount of calories for your body’s energy requirements, on average and over time, will result in attaining the appropriate weight for you. (For most people, the result will be consistent weight loss until the optimal weight has been achieved.) Regular vigorous exercise will, over time, result in gains in lean muscle mass and reductions in quantities of stored fat, leading to slimmed-down, trimmer physiques. All your healthy activities will result in positive changes with long-lasting benefits. These outcomes are available to everyone who is willing to take a chance and commit to such a personal marathon.
