Eating and Drinking on a Long Run

A quick rule of thumb in training is to practice drinking at every mile split so you’ll be accustomed to drinking at the intervals provided on the marathon course (that’s every eight minutes for an 8:00/mile hopeful). It’s also recommended that you take in some form of calories—most runners use energy gels—during your event. Don’t rely on the course to get you what you need; consider taking a gel (or some calories) at 45- to 60-minute intervals.
