Running and carbs

I have started running every day. I hope to run a marathon by the end of the year. :drool5: I love it.

The thing is-I am sticking with 30g of carbs, but everything that I have read with runners is that you need more carbs for fuel. I am wondering if I should up my carbs a bit when running.

Any thoughts?

    I don't know what the answer is to that... but congratulations on setting an awesome goal. We will cheer you on to the marathon.

    I tried to listen to my body and when I started craving carbs when working out so hard, I increased my intake by adding more fruits (and even some bad carbs, not that I'd recommend that). Now I'm not a runner, so I don't have any answers for that per se, and my weight loss did slow a bit when I did it, but it never stopped. If more carbs becomes a bad thing to your weight loss then you could always drop them down again. Good luck and congratulations on your fitness journey!
