If your long runs feel worse the deeper you get into marathon training, this is your sign to pause.

Most runners don’t suddenly lose fitness.
They slowly dig themselves into an energy hole without realising it.

Skipping fuel, guessing portions, eating “well” but not eating enough for the training you’re doing.

This is exactly why random advice online doesn’t work - runners need a framework, not food rules.

It’s something we work through step-by-step inside Nourish & Stride, because it’s rarely just one small tweak.

If you’re marathon training and this feels familiar,
DM me FUEL and I’ll point you in the right direction 💗

I’ve run 26 marathons – and this is what actually matters for nutrition.

Not perfection.
Not cutting everything out.
And definitely not copying what you see online.

What does matter:
1️⃣ Consistency beats perfection every single time
2️⃣ Fueling doesn’t mean overeating – it means supporting training and recovery
3️⃣ You can train for a race and lose weight when nutrition is aligned properly

Most runners don’t struggle because they lack discipline.
They struggle because no one’s ever explained how to fuel around training in a way that feels sustainable.

That’s the bit I care about getting right.

DM me FUEL if you want help doing this properly for your next race 💗

Post-run recovery doesn’t need to be complicated.

One of the biggest mistakes I see runners make is either
• skipping food altogether after a run, or
• eating the same thing every time, regardless of the session.

Easy runs need a light top-up.
Quality sessions need proper recovery.
Long runs need refuelling – not restriction.

These are quick, practical snacks, not full meals and not about hitting 30–40 g of protein.
And if you’re sitting down to lunch or dinner within about an hour of finishing your run, you don’t need a snack as well.

All the examples here are vegetarian, but you can absolutely add meat or fish if you prefer – that will simply increase the protein.

Recovery should support your training, your energy, and your appetite later in the day – not make things more stressful.

Save this for your training week 💗

Not all marathon runs need the same breakfast.

One of the biggest mistakes I see in marathon training is fuelling every run the same – or worse, fuelling less as mileage increases.

Easy runs, quality sessions, and long runs place very different demands on your body.
Your nutrition should reflect that.

A light breakfast can support an easy run.
Hard sessions need more carbs.
Long runs need a bigger carb base to protect recovery and energy for the rest of the week.

This isn’t about perfection or rigid rules – it’s about fuelling the work you’re doing.

Save this for your training week and come back tomorrow for post-run snack ideas 💗

Most runners think the answer is eating less or cutting carbs.
But that’s usually what causes the flat legs, constant hunger, poor recovery, and weight that won’t shift.

Here’s the small shift most people miss:
👉 it’s not just how much you eat - it’s when you eat it.

Carbs around training support performance and recovery.
Dialling them back away from training helps energy balance.

This week I’m breaking marathon nutrition down properly:
• what to eat before different runs
• how to recover without overthinking
• and how to fuel confidently without fear of weight gain

No extremes. No food rules. Just what actually works for runners.

Save this and follow along this week 💗

Most runners don’t struggle with weight because they’re lazy, greedy, or lack willpower.

They struggle because they’ve been given one-size-fits-all advice.

Things like:
• “Just eat less”
• “Cut carbs”
• “Do more cardio”
• “Wait until after the marathon”

That advice completely ignores the reality of marathon training.

What actually works is:
• Fueling hard days properly
• Eating differently on easy and rest days
• Understanding energy, not fearing food

That’s how my clients:
• Train consistently
• Recover better
• Feel strong
• And still lose weight alongside marathon prep

You don’t need extremes – you need a plan that matches your training.

If you’re training for a marathon and feel stuck, save this – or message me and we’ll talk it through 💗

One of the biggest myths in running nutrition is that you have to choose:

❌ Lose weight
❌ Train for a marathon

I see this all the time – runners either:
• Under-fuel and feel awful
• Or over-fuel blindly and feel stuck

The problem isn’t effort.
It’s not understanding how to fuel differently across training days.

This is exactly what I teach my clients:
• How to fuel hard sessions properly
• How to eat differently on easier or rest days
• How to support training and fat loss at the same time

That’s how they train well, feel strong, and still see the scale move.

No extremes. No food rules. No chaos.

If you’re training for a marathon and feel stuck with your weight, this is for you.
Save this or send me a DM.

The biggest mistake I see runners make in marathon week?

👉 Under-fuelling.

Usually because of nerves, misinformation, or the idea that eating less will make them feel “lighter”.

Here’s the reality:
👉 Glycogen fuels your race
👉 Glycogen comes from carbs
👉 Marathon week is about topping up, not cutting back

I’m eating:
✅ Regular meals
✅ Familiar foods
✅ Enough carbs to support the work already done

Nothing extreme. Nothing exciting. Just what works.

This is exactly the kind of thing I teach inside Nourish & Stride – so runners stop guessing and start trusting their fuelling.

If this made you rethink marathon week fuelling, give it a save.

I do love our walks together after school. 💗

I will miss these walks when she’s older. When I have tons of work it’s difficult to shut down at 3pm for the school run, but it’s always lovely to see her little face.

My goal this year is to be in the present, appreciate the moment, try and calm my whirlwind mind by stopping and breathing and soaking up the ‘now’.
(When I manage it I’ll let you know!)

I started running to lose baby weight.
I genuinely thought eating less was the answer.

I didn’t understand energy.
I didn’t understand strength.
I definitely didn’t understand why I felt so out of control with food in the evenings.

Now I know better.

Being strong beats being skinny – every time.
Not just for how you look, but for your head, your confidence, your resilience.

I do something every day that makes me proud.
Sometimes that’s the gym.
Sometimes a run.
Sometimes just a walk in the sunshine.

And the biggest thing I see with the women I work with?
They don’t eat enough earlier in the day.
So by the evening, hunger takes over.

Fuel before you run.
Fuel after you run.
Eat proper breakfasts, lunches, and snacks.

Especially if you’ve got a marathon coming up and you’re scared of weight gain – learning how to fuel isn’t just about April.
It’s a skill you carry forward for life.

You don’t need more willpower.
You need better fuel. 🩷

If this resonates, you’re not alone. 💗
