Fuel Your Run - Nutrition for Ultra Marathon & Long Runs

How should you fuel your run? More specifically – what should you drink and eat on your long runs and what should you drink and eat during an ultra marathon? Nutrition is probably the most important thing for a new ultra runner, but fueling properly your runs is harder than it seems. I’m going to walk you through what I ate during a 50k ultra marathon and provide you tips on how to make your nutrition plan. If you feel my content as helped you along in your journey, I'd greatly appreciate your support. Please visit my Patreon: patreon.com/RunningwithSimon Curious about the gear I use and recommend? Check out this link https://linktr.ee/runningwithsimon Today in this “How to Ultra Run”, I want to discuss about fueling strategy and fueling plan. How many calories per miles, what source of energy, and what are common nutrition problem you may face during long runs and ultra marathon. I will guide you through making a nutrition / fueling plan for your first 50k ultra marathon, and the same principles apply for longer race (but it gets very complex). As always - Thanks for watching and remember - Work Hard! Believe in yourself! Push your limits!
