Welcome to Day 12 of my Edinburgh Marathon MAF Training Series! Today, as we take a well-deserved rest day, I’m excited to dive into a crucial part of training – our diet. Join me as I share my personal experiences with low-carb diets and how I tailor my carbohydrate intake according to my daily activity levels. From zero-carb days to carb-loading for long runs, discover how diet plays a pivotal role in marathon training.
In this video, I also explore the reasons why low-carb diets come highly recommended by MAF training experts like Phil Maffetone, Mark Sisson, and Brad Kearns. We’ll cover five key benefits of low-carb eating for marathon training, providing insights into how these diets enhance fat burning, stabilize energy levels, reduce inflammation, improve metabolic health, and offer great customization to fit your training needs.
Lastly, I’ll discuss why MAF training is particularly beneficial for runners in their 40s, focusing on training smarter, not harder, and fueling our bodies for sustainable, healthy endurance training.
Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or just starting out, this video is packed with valuable insights to help you optimize your training and nutrition strategy.
