One of the things I told myself after finishing my first marathon is that I would do a better job eating and fueling for the next one.
Last year in my first marathon I hit the wall at 21 miles and in retrospect I am confident much of the reason for that was a lack of fuel both during and before the race. I was feeling great up to that 21 mile mark and out of no where my body said "I'm done"
One thing I never really thought much about before this attempt was the way I ate the week leading up to the marathon. In all my races, and even in last years marathon I really only thought about the one meal that everyone talks about - the carb loading you do the night before a race, especially a marathon.
