Healthy Food Categories. Lean protein: Choose organic and grass-fed lean protein when possible. Nutritious options may include white meat chicken, turkey, lean pork, fish Whole grains: Oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa, barley, farro, or bulgur.
Legumes: Beans, lentils, or edamame. Vegetables.Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are full of antioxidants, which neutralize inflammatory free radicals produced by running and every day living. These sweet treats are great fresh or frozen, and are the perfect addition to a smoothie or yogurt bowl.Repair by eating protein Nicola added that I needed to eat more lean protein (chicken, turkey, eggs, fish, lentils, chickpeas, natural yogurt) to help maintain and build muscle and keep me fuller for longer.
Fill your diet whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Proteins and fats should take a secondary role in your diet. If you think of your plate as a peace sign, fill two-thirds with complex carbohydrates and leave the other one-third for the fats and proteins.Leafy, green vegetables, dried fruit, eggs, beans and lean meat will all address this problem although you might want to take iron supplements while you are in training.
There is plenty of advice on half marathon nutrition on the C25K website. In the days running up to an actual half marathon, you will get lots of advice about what to eat.What Should You Eat on the Day of Your Half Marathon? Yes, you can eat the day of the race.
Hell, you’ll be eating during the half marathon too. A few hours before the race, have a small meal of protein and simple carbs. Wash it down with water or even a sports drink.
Protein should make up about 15% of total calories per day. Without enough protein while training, the body will break down muscle to fuel the body when running long distances. With the right amount of protein in the diet, the body will be able to continue to build and maintain lean muscle mass.For immediate half marathon recovery, focus on rest, hydration, and eating carbs and protein. Four to five days later, you can return to light exercise and cross-training.
Great article, I was really confused on fueling but as I start training for a full I realized I needed more. I have always been a casual 3-6 mile runner, but last year decided I was going to run a half marathon which I just completed this past weekend, my own personal best training was 8:30/mile so would have considered anything at that or under a success and ended up at 1:44:59 or a 8:02/mile.Most half marathon training plans will take the runner up to 12 or 13 miles. There’s no need to do a run longer than 13 for a half.
The two weekly base maintenance runs are short runs (4 to 5 miles). These are designed to keep the weekly base miles going and to help keep the runner limber between the quality workouts. These runs are also run at.Eat high-carbohydrate foods just before and after your runs to increase and replenish the glycogen storage in your muscles. Choose healthy sources of carbohydrates, including fruits and vegetable.
So, during the months of training leading up to your half marathon (and all the time, for that matter), try your best to eat a nutrient-dense, whole food-based diet. Days Before – Fuel up on carbs (properly!) Your training plan is designed for you to peak on race day, and your nutrition can be used for the same function.The key is to choose high-quality carbs like whole-grain bread, cereals, rice and pasta, along with starchy veggies and fruit.
Another way of fulfilling your body’s carb needs when training for a half marathon is to make sure you’re eating carb-rich foods each day.Nutrition Tweaks for Half-Marathon Training. A nutritionist breaks down one runner’s daily diet.

Her suggestions: a slice of whole-grain toast with peanut butter and jelly, or some fruit with half a cup of yogurt. “What you’re looking to do is replenish your glycogen stores so you can be ready for your next workout,” says Sherwin. “The maximal uptake of glucose is.

Hope you guys enjoy this video since it was asked for! I’m releasing another NEW video tomorrow so be sure to have my post notifications on so you don’t miss out!:) where’s the early squad at???
I’m 14 and I run 5ks and 10ks, and I want to run a marathon one day
I have finally got around to finalising my half marathon video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoJK4BbknrA but I just wanted to say thank you for your tips. I watched this while I was training and it was so helpful!:)
I think you need to take some time and go to WooPep diet website to learn about diet.
The only thing with this is carbs are not bad for you. Carbs are your natural fuel sourceit can be dangerous to force your body to burn fats and ketones instead. Low-carb diets aren’t good for most people.
thank you for reminding me to eat more vegetables lol! love these videos
THANK YOU for not filming actually eating and chewing… Drives me nuts.. Don’t know why some yubers do this.:)
Your time was absolutely incredible!! Below 4 hours is fantastic but to do it with such a short period of training was amazing
Hi! I knoe im like super late but I put milk in my oatmeal, and it says no dairy so…what do you put?
I’m training for my first Half Marathon so this is very helpful!!
I’m injured rn and really missing fuel type food… I looove hearty food but feel like I can’t eat much cuz I’m not running ;(
I\’m not sure but,if anyone else wants to discover best marathon training program try Niposcu Complete Running Adviser (just google it )? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.
keeping dairy out of your diet isn’t necessarily the best. for good bone health you need to get in lots of calcium, and dairy is one of the most absorbable sources!!! especially women who are putting in high weekly mileage making them prone to stress fractures/injuries. make sure ur getting some kind of calcium even if it’s not dairy (e.g leafy greens, almonds, soy):)
Namaskaar michelle, udya majhi half marathon ahe, tumcha video khupach changla hota.
( hello michelle, i have a half tomorrow, your video is very helpful ).
Im really Hopeful this turns out great.
good video
I been running short distances almost Twenty years and finished five half marathons within the last 24 months but never a full. After deciding to aim for a full marathon, I used this marathon training “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it). This book is quite informative and provides a good deal of amazing tips. I had been able to finish my first marathon and got to a Boston marathon..
If you are seriously interested in running a marathon or want to set a PR then this marathon training “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it) is vital. I have read numerous books on marathon training and run two marathons and about 50 half marathons. This is a quite inspiring and reassuring book. It gave me some techniques which I wasn`t familiar with..
I gave this marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it) to my running-addicted brother a few years ago, and he`s been following the training guide ever since. A week ago, he took Fourth place in his age group in a Nationals-level 12k race. In case you are serious about marathons or other distance racing, this is actually the best training around..
Great video and editing����.i liked and subscribed right away��
You did amazing at the LA marathon! Are you going to run the Boston marathon this year?
Just eat a balanced diet, but certainly carb type snacks before a run. Gels never make any diff in the last 10k of a marathon, it’s all in the head.
I am getting ready for my SF Marathon tomorrow. I love this video.
3 glass 2%milk a day or you shall pay when you older or even sooner with all that stress on your joints.
i love your vids… thank you Flora. I have a question yes, do you also use protein powders?
is it bad that as soon as she said carbo load i instantly thought of Michael Scott in fun run
I love how you didn’t take 10 hours to explain each meal. Awesome video!
You’re such a goddess and a warrior. I’m so glad that I recently found your channel. Maybe try an advanced painting class??? I’m so lame haha but I think it’d be good content? I don’t know
One of my favorite videos of yours!! Hoping for some more like this ������������♀️
You gotta be fucken kiddie, we don’t wanna see you in a robe in the bathroom for a fucken running channel. Gtfoh
That’s a good idea to swap out the pasta with cauli rice. I hadn’t heard that one before.
I’m a nutrition/diet student and from what I’ve learned so far, restricting carbs as an endurance athlete is harmful for your body! even on rest days you should still eat a combination of protein, carbs and fat, so your body can recover as fast as possible. Carbs are needed to fill up your glycogen storage, which is used during long runs to provide energy. That’s also why carbo-loading is actually useful for marathon runners. So if you are going to run a marathon again, please consider getting a licensed nutritionist to help with your diet. (also you don’t have to cut out desert while carbo-loading…)
Anyone know what to eat instead of nuts? I’m allergic so I don’t really know what to eat instead of that
I used this marathon training “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it) to train for my full marathon. I made a decision to begin again with a improved plan. I conducted 5K`s and 10K`s and half marathons and decided to take the next big step towards the full marathon, and I learned a good deal from this book. This wonderful training is a must-try..
That beetroot supplement is unlikely to give you extra energy. However, it will contain a high concentration of dietary nitrate, which is converted into nitric oxide in your body, which in turn is involved in vasodilation, thus improving blood flow. This means better oxygen delivery etc. to working muscles. I don’t know about that specific supplement, but similar things have been shown to be ergogenic for endurance exercise.
Had exactly the same experience with coffee! Gave it up over Christmas and only had 3 proper cups this year so far…feel so much better allllll the time! Just have a nice decaf every weekend now for the taste. Great vid as always:)
After you eat, how many hours or minutes do you give yourself before you start running?
I know this was posted like 2 years ago but I think u should do another marathon training and running one so that we can see your expectations and if there is better outcomes��
A typical video of someone who does not know that you can run a marathon without food.
Eat healthy!! That’s all it takes.
great diet recommendations! I am currently training for a marathon and looking for some ideas for nutrition. For breakfast, when you say you had almond butter…did you mix it in with the oatmeal? If so, how much?
Can you please make a video discussing your Supplementswhat is it good for, how much to take daily, why you use it stuff like that will be much appreciated!
Ok, wow �� Not sure how I ended up on your channel, but that was one inspirational video!! Thank you ☺️
So in two weeks I’m running my first marathon and you’re the reason why! I saw your previous video on you running the marathonabout a year ago and I got so damn inspired! I’ve watched it over and over and here I am, still watching it and being nervous haha
Did you take beet elite and running legs during training too? I’m running my first marathon in 14 weeks, maybe I’ll try it! Great video!
How about sleep? How was your sleeping schedule? I’m training for my first marathon and I’m really finding it hard to recover from training:(
In the thumb nail for the marathon video over at buzzfeed; you can not only see a difference in Michelle’s before and muscle gains, but also a change in skin tone. This is probably because she had to train outside and got a gnarly tan while doing it. LOVE U MICHELLE
Wait what? Nutrition plan for a marathon?! Where did you get this information??? I have been a runner for 7 years and never ran my best on a low carb diet. I do eat dairy and gluten free though.
This was very helpful! I’m training for my 1st marathon and have so many nutrition questions. This answered alot of them.
well i am 10 years old and i am going to run the marathon i am practicing yesterday i ran 3 miles and today i maybe will do more
That made me feel like I’m eating waaaay too much! Lol I am not training for a half marathon but eat maybe more than that:( been really needing to take weight loss more seriously.
Love that you posted this.. Been pondering a full more and more because I’ve only done half marathons. Eating is so key while training!
i just finished my first half marathon at 2 hours 12 mins with absolutely no training. Just saw your marathon video and it has inspired me to train for the marathon. Any tips or tid bit examples on what you did for training?
Do you know of any good waterproof shoes? I do a lot of walking so they’ve got to be super comfy!
I want to try a nitro cold brew but I’m wondering if it’s a bad to drink before working out (not huge on coffee but need caffeine)
Go Kahley! Matt mentioned this last time we saw him so I wanted to come check it out. Good luck in Feb!
Yes girl! Thanks for sharing!!!! Had my reward tonight!!!:)
I have a question, you said no dairy, but in the marathon training video you had cereal, is the small amount considered passable?
Amazing! Loved the training video, running my first full marathon next year. The diet will for sure suck, but your tips are helpful. Keep posting awesome videos!!!
What were the things u put with apple juice right before race?
Hey! Have you heard of Komoot? It’s a planning service for running, cycling and a few other sports. That could be really useful for you to help you plan some new routes �� I’ve used it a few times and I really like it ��
This marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it) got me through my first marathon with no injury and I met my sub 4hr goal. You can find a lot of information about diet regime, strategy, training and the likes in this book. The best part about this guide is the training courses schedule which guides you in the preferred distance you should run on a certain day..
Wait what? Nutrition plan for a marathon?! Where did you get this information??? I have been a runner for 7 years and never ran my best on a low carb diet. I do eat dairy and gluten free though.
Holy crap I’m about to feel guilty about McDonalds as I train for my half. Progress not perfection ������
I am a fairly new runner and I am afraid of eating a lot and gaining weight but my body always wants a whole lot of food I run everyday for my cross country team and run hard all the time and I be confused if eating a lot of fruit and healthy food is good or eating a lot is bad definitely earned a subscriber!
Please recreate this video for dummies because it was hard to follow.
I think it was Lydiard who said a day off a week is 52 days lost training.
Really enjoy your videos! I am running a half marathon in about 2 weeks, ordered some honey stinger gels for it, thanks!!:)
Thanks for the video Runnner’s Connect. Great tips on marathon nutrition.
Michelle! I love watching your videos. It means a lot to see a brown girl rocking it and having such a blast. You are super cool, just keep being you.
what is that pill you took that coloured your water? it’s a supplement? is it natural?
I managed to finish a half marathon in 2hrs 50 minutes. Unfortunately I missed a couple hydration stops and that messed with my body and mind, this meant I did the above time rather than the 2 1/2 hours I had set as a target. Training for this was hap hazard as my work just made life extremely difficult..
My post run nutrition consists of a Drink combination of Electrolyte Carbohydrates with Amino acids which really makes a difference to my recovery. Amino acids are crucial to any sports performance and a multi mineral / vitamin with my post meal this is what works for me.
In a recent video, Katelyn Tuohy, expressed that organic food is expensive which is far from the truth. She should adopt Emma’s style of eating, “organic or not” as she embarks on her college career.
I wouldn’t recommend the supplements. The rest is excellent. This is my personal opinion. Good luck.
I have lost count of how many times i have watched the marathon video. It has inspired me to run the next marathon whenever the pandemic is over and life goes back to normal.
I vow to edit and update this comment after my first marathon (hopefully soon)
interesting points,if anyone else wants to learn about best marathon training program try Sarparder Running Expert Starter (do a search on google )? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
Love all the vegetables! You made me crave some tangerines so gonna go get some��❤��
and here i am, eating a whole pint of ben and jerrys ice cream
I’m currently in army training in high school (raiders) with a ton of cardio, I’m also vegan. So I love carbs 😉 I also find that protein powder in oatmeal is way better then a shake.
If you qualified for Boston, why did you not register to run it? Or did you and just not qualify by enough? I checked the BAA site and you are no where to be found.
Where are your carbs??? You need glycogen from carbs for energy. Also there’s a lot of fat in your diet.
Hey! Just found your channel! Love it. Also plant based runner ✌️���� great content!
I definitely agree on the chat about the coffee, at least for me! When I have a cup of coffee it actually puts me to sleep! But I still drink it cause I just love the tastex
Ahh that avocado toast and egg, been eating that for days now with everything but the bagel seasoning on it….ahhh soooo good!!
Regarding caffeine consumption, consider Googling “caffeine cerebral blood flow”.
Preach the rest day, Flora! �������� I have always felt many people run too much versus what their body is comfortable with. We are all different but most of us aren’t professional athletes so I don’t think we should be pushing it to the max everyday. I generally have at least two rest days each week. Last week I had 4 rest days and went on to smash my half marathon PB on Sunday. Train right, rest right. ��♂️��♂️
You’re so inspirational! I’m 33 weeks pregnant…in the home stretch now…and gearing up mentally to adopt a lot of your fitness and nutritional advice after baby comes. ^_^ In the meantime I’ve been focusing on switching empty carbs to things with more protein…oatmeal instead of cereal, protein bars instead of Nutella toast, things like that! By the way, I love this song! Who is it?
How do you afford this all, the personal trainers, and all the financing of your Chanel?
Everyone should check out Shalane Flannagan’s cookbooks! Excellent yummy healthy recipes for runners:) and it’s filled with tons of amazing advice.
WOW! Your salad looks delicious. I will make something similar tonight for dinner after my training…����yum yum
I BOUGHT SOMETHING ON POSHMARK FROM YOUR ACC, can you check it out plz❤️❤️❤️
I think this is an important question, how did you avoid going to the bathroom. Also A link to the lactea pills
This marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it) is very useful if you`re planning to run a marathon but haven`t done so previously. The book is loaded with great guidance, ideas from all those who have run one before, what to do and also what NOT to do, and also training schedules. Highly recommend it..
That’s an awesome way to do this video! May try that next time.:)
I love how you filmed and edited this video! Also, I love me some RX bars ☺️

Little Motivation From My side…. (21: 41, 22: 18, 22:40 ) Is my favorite…..
I feel better all the time when I eat little carbs everyday. Like the Keto diet. Carbs make me feel depressed and gross. I still eat carbs but I don’t want to eat a lot. I know I will maybe before my half marathon. I’m training hard right now and I know I do need carbs. I think after this half marathon I am going full Keto.
Everything looks yummy! I haven’t been drinking enough water lately…again. lol. Time to get back on track! ��
I’ve found the same with coffee, that it makes me more tired. I can only have it in the evening or if I’m on a day off and don’t mind being tired.
Michelle: no dairy for marathon training
Me: eating mac and cheese with EXTRA cheese ����
I had been training for my first marathon utilizing this marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it). This book contains a wonderful training schedule and idea. If you are running a marathon for the very first time, you should try this guide. I have an experience in running 5ks, 10k and half marathons, and now my next target would be to get another huge step to the marathon..
Why not always have fuel and if you run out use your mind to continue you on and then ur body will workout the rest
Because surely if your slim you don’t want to loose to much weight and go from healthy to unhealthy due to loosing to many calories
Great vlog. Might try decaf? Do you always train 5 days a week?
Running is super draining. I feel same way my last run was horrible. Tough. So rest day ����
Love your advice! Endurox is a great recommendation. Thank you for posting:)

Great work on this video all while keeping it real. So many videos out there on crazy diet fads for runners. I especially like that you explained the importance of training on a glycogen depleted body. Very important for long distance runners.
Pro tip: Slice open an unpeeled banana to make a pocket. Stuff the banana with chocolate chips and peanut butter. Cook in the air fryer for about 5-7 minutes.
Hi Flora I might have mentioned I run daily #526 days so far…(and its taken me years to get to this stage), but I do eat refined carbs (too often when I panic that I need to carb load) is there any thing you can suggest that I can shop to if I need to eat more whole carbs quickly (as opposed to refined carbs)???
I straight up sobbed watching that marathon video. I’m currently training to run a marathon and I’ve got a head full of doubt. These videos are awesome.
you are loved and beautiful and enough and worthy. please give your whole heart to Christ. i’m not saying this cause of criticism or hate but of pure love for whoever is reading this. no matter what you’ve done, where you’ve been, or who you are. YOU are God’s masterpiece. God will make it less painful. He will give you strength through an undoubtedly hard time. He won’t necessarily make it a whole lot easier, but He will make it worth it. so worth it. just be patient and trust Him. love you (yes really YOUUUU!!!)
As a preparation for my first marathon, I just read and also used this marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it). I was able to accomplish my goal of a sub-4 hour marathon. I followed everything with this training program and also enabled me to race confidently to get through 26.2 miles. It`s a great feeling to be able to achieve that. Committed runners need to try it also..
I just put a loaf of banana bread in the oven as I watch this.. And now I wish I had added chocolate chips to it
Wait are you Graces sister? If so I know I’m so late in game for realizing ��
hiii!! i love ur videos!! but could u or your sister do a video on how to overcome HA as an athlete?
Can tell you are getting.after.it. with the healthy eats, workouts, and posting content in the new year!!! You go girl!
Where did you get your parka? I’m new to London and have been freezing!
Slow down on the food prep edits please! I want to see what you’re using.:)
Wow you said a mouthful about recovery!! It shed so much light on an injury I had and why it was taking sooo long to recover!!
So you put your spaghetti on top of cauli-rice? Too funny bc I put mine over broccoli which is just like cauliflower �� great minds think alike! ❤️
Really enjoyed this video. It seemed that you were being very authentically ’you’, and I appreciate that so much!
Hi Flora! Just a quick tip for an easier way to find routes on strava: you can use the route builder (it’s not on the app, only when you log in on strava on your laptop), click the settings button on the left side and then turn on “global heatmap” it shows you where the most popular routes are, the deeper the colour, the more people run there. I love to use it when I’m somewhere new or even at home to discover new routes I haven’t tried before. Good luck with your training, you are doing so well!
wait so you ate 8oz of salmon? Can you tell me how you felt after eating that much salmon? I eat 4oz currently
I am obsessed with what you had for breakfast. I might have to make this for myself today. What was lunch? Cauli rice and fish?
Loved the video! I’m trying to reduce my daily caffeine intake too. Any recommendations for a good caffeine free and ideally responsibly sourced coffee blend that won’t break the bank? Oh gosh I do realise that’s a lot of criteria to meet ��
I love how much coffee you’re drinking. Accurate representation of Portlanders ����
What else can i use to fuel my long runs without this gel supplement??
Do you sleep alot? Cause I have about 6 half and have coffee and I’m always tired
I absolutely support going make up free! My mum basically told me off for not wearing make up to prom and yet I just genuinely don’t like it, I’m a practical person and like walking and running and sweating and I just hate putting stuff on my face, even sunscreen though I will obviously wear that. I feel like a lot of girls in my class are addicted to wearing it and are really scared to go without it incase they are judged for being tired/pale even though that’s their normal face x (I’ve tried giving up caffeine but every winter when I get to school before sunrise and leave after sunset and still have to run I just need the extra boost)
I dunno as you plugged Strava perhaps you should look at some of the so called elite runners and see how few rest days they actually take. Same for good and not so good club athletes.
You’re looking great Flora, such a beautiful natural glow ��✨ really enjoy your tips and talks. Have a great week. ����♀️
It’s amazing how so many joggers in the running community actually hate running.
Would you be able to/did you drink coffee on this nutrition plan? Caffeine seems to negatively impact my workouts, but I don’t know if I could cut it out entirely on early mornings.
Always love seeing a video notification from you!!! I’ve been inspired to start some trail running in the rocky mountains!
