i mentioned in my last post about my constant hunger and atlanta apples had a question about it. What you said about your constant hunger got my attention — when I’m running high(ish) mileage, I just cannot figure out what to do about it. I know you’ve posted about what you eat before, but are [...]

clean it up
in college, when i first really started paying attention to what i was eating, i was more concerned with calorie and fat content than anything. while i still semi-pay attention to those things (although usually in the opposite way now, making sure i get enough fat and calories, especially during marathon training), it is definitely [...]
to carry or not to carry? the water debate…
fuel and hydration are such a big part of a marathoner’s race. there are so many different ways to get fluids in during a race, but which one is best? it all pretty much comes down to personal preference. i have tried many different ways now, and my methods are still changing as time goes [...]
seasons of fuel
fall is *almost* here for good now. it keeps teasing us bay area runners, and then will throw in a couple 80 degree days (like today) but at least the mornings are in the crisp upper 40s, so i guess it is technically here. hopefully this will be the last round of teasing warm weather [...]

how i fuel
i mentioned a couple weeks before the san diego marathon that i was trying out some new stuff for my running fuel. i mentioned how i wasn’t sure about my strategy for that marathon, but i never posted on what i ended up doing and i know a few people had questions about it… so [...]
