Been having a tough time nailing the nutrition. Training nutrition works fine. Racing nutrition does not. In order to stay the course I’m in need of encouragement. I want to know what is possible IF I were to get the nutrition puzzle figured out. What say you to the following experiment?
A Swim-Bike brick of 1:15 and 5:00, followed by a 1/2Marathon race 14 hrs later?
I ‘m thinking that the fatigue from the S-B brick would still be lingering as I started the ½ but the glycogen tanks would be full, essentially negating the nutrition challenge. The ½ marathon in this experiment would give me approximate “best scenario” information for the IM run.
