I may have stated that getting the right trainers was one of my number one priorities for marathon preparation, but I neglected to identify the most important tool I’ll need to get round the marathon route; my own body!
It’s not just training that I will require to get around the marathon route but months of commitment to a strict diet will also need to be followed.
I’ll be planning this out over the next few weeks but I’ve been lucky enough to get a framework sent to me by one of the fittest people I know. Robbie Smythe.
The following guide was passed onto me by another marathon runner too (Robbie Hutchinson) so I know it works.
The general guide is as follows but I’ll be expanding more on the specific meals I’ll be making over the next five months too.
| Time | Meal |
| 7am | Breakfast: Porridge oats with berries Use Almond or Soya milk (or just semi skimmed) |
| 10am | Snack: Eggs! |
| 1pm | Lunch: Chicken, potatoes and veg Tuna and pasta Chili and rice |
| 4pm | Snack: Banana, yoghurt |
| 7pm | Dinner: Chicken, fish, steak |
| 10pm | Glass of milk and some dark chocolate |
Check back on this blog soon and I’ll expand on these meals with the recipes that I’m making. They will all be super easy because I’m a rubbish cook!
