Fuelling Your marathon: The Ultimate Guide to Energy Gels & Hydration

In this episode of Cook Eat Run, we're stripping things back to the essentials with a comprehensive guide on how to fuel your runs effectively. Whether you're a marathon newbie or a seasoned pavement pounder, we've all faced the conundrum of what to munch on. No more Haribo and Lucozade Light - Charlie’s come a long way since then! She’s here to share the lessons learned from her own trial and error – so you can skip straight to the success part.

Charlie spills the beans on how she taste-tested every gel, chew, and carb drink under the sun, and shares the highlights (and lowlights) of her summer-long nutrition experiment, diving into the world of carbs, caffeine, and electrolytes, exploring options from high-carb gels to natural fuel choices. Get the lowdown on texture, taste, and how to avoid the dreaded "runner's trots”, plus tips on how to train your gut for race day (and why caffeine might just be the cheaper performance booster you've been looking for).

Don't miss out on practical advice for race day, including how to carry your fuel, whether to walk or run while refuelling, and a sneak peek at what's on course at major marathons.
