When training for the marathon last year, with a team, it was beat into our heads to fuel properly during the runs and in the surrounding meals/snacks.
I have lots and lots and lots of fuel for runs... and didn't even eat during my six miles. Anything over 45 minutes should be fueled and I'm a slow runner, so there's definitely some need for fuel in my house. Luckily, I did have some electrolytes on me and that I did fuel up on.
I'm still working on fueling properly outside of the runs. I'm not always sure exactly what I need when, so will definitely need to spend some time researching how and what I should be eating and when.
I know how to fuel during runs, even if I don't always do the best job about it. Today, for example. Luckily, it was a short enough run that I'll live.
