London Marathon 26
Body comp change, acute drop in mass, GI issues, fuelling strategy and thoughts 💭
Intentionally didn’t lift a weight for 5 weeks, the focus was purely running
Probably lost a little upper body muscle mass but I was fine with this
Gut was a nightmare on all training runs, visits back home half way round or into bushes was frequent
Kept nutrition very clean leading into the race, minimal foods I wasn’t used to, high carbs and small fibre.
Stayed in hotel room to get a good nights sleep, unbroken, no Luca middle of the night bottle feed
4 toilet visits pre race and I was good to go and send it
Sub 3 the target but happy with the result
