Our muscles store carbs as glycogen πŸ’ͺ, but these stores are limited to around 400–600 g total.
In endurance running (especially >60 minutes πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ), glycogen can be depleted, leading to fatigue and β€œhitting the wall.”

Carbohydrates are essential to keep performance up βš‘β€”and not just for running, but for any form of exercise.

πŸ‘‰ The amount needed depends on the length of exercise, but it’s also important to train your gut. Even starting with 50% less than the recommended amount can help build tolerance.

πŸ”Ή 2.5–3 hrs: 60–90 g carbohydrate per hour, ideally from a glucose + fructose mix for best absorption

Adequate priming leading up to a race is essential for maximizing performance, ensuring your body has the right energy stores in the right places to fuel your run effectively

βœ… 2–3 hrs before: Eat a carb-rich breakfast like oats + banana or French toast with honey, and hydrate with 500–700ml of water.

βœ… 30 mins before: Top up with an easy-to-digest snack like a banana, dried apricots, or pretzels.

🚫 Race day is not the time to experiment – stick to foods you know your body handles well!

πŸ“Œ Note: Macronutrient quantities should be adjusted based on the duration of your run and your individual body size and needs.

Are you running in the 2025 Sydney Marathon? πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned runner, how you fuel the day before is key.

Carbohydrate loading is a strategy used by endurance athletes to maximise glycogen stores in the muscles and liver β€” helping boost performance and delay fatigue during long events.

Research suggests aiming for 8–12g of carbs per kg of body weight the day before the marathon.

Swipe to see what a 56-year-old female, based on 8g/kg, could eat in a day to support her fuelling needs.

Did you know? It's Tradies' National Health Month! πŸ› οΈ

August is all about looking after the health of our hardworking tradies. As Dietitians, we know the physical demands of trade work, and the impact nutrition can have on:
βœ… Sustained energy throughout the day
βœ… Muscle recovery & injury prevention
βœ… Focus and mental alertness
βœ… Reducing the risk of chronic disease

Our quick tips for tradies:
πŸ₯ͺ Start the day with a protein-rich breakfast
πŸ’§ Hydrate regularly with water as the beverage of choice
🍌 Pack wholesome snacks like fruit, boiled eggs, nut mix, veggie sticks with dips instead of relying on servo pies
πŸ₯— Don’t skip lunch, important to have a balanced meal with carbohydrates, protein and vegetables

A few small changes can lead to big improvements in performance and long-term health.

Are you running in the 2025 this Sunday? πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, how you fuel and hydrate can make or break your race. Here’s how to stay on top of it from start to finish πŸ‘‡

πŸ‘‰ BEFORE the race
πŸ’§ Hydrate well the day before β€” aim for 2–3L of water, especially if it’s warm.
🍽 Eat a balanced dinner (think: carbs, lean protein, healthy fats).
🍌 On race morning, go for an easy-to-digest breakfast 2–3 hours before (e.g. oats, banana, toast with PB).
πŸ₯€ Sip on water or an electrolyte drink in the hour before the start β€” but don’t overdo it!

πŸ‘‰ DURING the race
🚰 Hydration stations are set up along the course β€” use them!
πŸ§ƒ Sip water or electrolyte drinks at each one (even if you’re not thirsty β€” dehydration can sneak up).
⚑️Running over 75–90 minutes? Consider bringing a small energy gel or chew for a mid-race boost.

πŸ‘‰ AFTER the finish line
πŸ’¦ Rehydrate ASAP with water + electrolytes (especially if you’re a salty sweater).
πŸ₯ͺ Refuel within 30–60 minutes with carbs + protein (think: recovery smoothie, sandwich, or chocolate milk).
πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ Keep sipping water throughout the day to help your body recover.

As Dry July comes to an end, here are some tips on easing alcohol back into your social life in a safe and nutritionally responsible way.

𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗢𝗻𝗸𝗢𝗻𝗴:
πŸ— Eat a protein-rich meal – Slows alcohol absorption and reduces blood sugar spikes
πŸ’§ Hydrate early – Have 1–2 glasses of water before your first drink
🧠 Set your limit – Decide how many drinks you’ll have beforehand (aim for 1–2 standard drinks)
πŸ“ Know the guidelines – Max 10 standard drinks per week, no more than 4 in one sitting

π—ͺ𝗡𝗢𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗢𝗻𝗸𝗢𝗻𝗴:
⏳ Pace yourself – No more than 1 drink per hour
🀝 Drink buddy system – Alternate each alcoholic drink with water to stay hydrated
🍹 Choose lower-alcohol options – Light beer, wine spritzers, or non-alcoholic alternatives
πŸ” Watch your pour – A standard drink = 100ml wine, 30ml spirit, or 285ml beer
