Hi guys, I'm 12 weeks out from my sleeve and a month back into marathon training, and I'm having real trouble fuelling. At least I think it's fuelling, right now I'm still running at the same bloody pace I was running my marathons at when I was 18kgs heavier.

I went out for a 10 miler today and I had to put walk breaks in as I was tired, and my pace was just so slow. This is not normal for me (the slow is, the walk breaks, not so much).

My next marathon is in 7 weeks I am worried about how I'm going to do this, my body feels less able than it was pre-surgery. Some context, I've been running marathons for 7 years, so I know how I normally perform, how are others fuelling for endurance events? Before? During? Post / recovery?

I dont do marithons , but have asked my NUT about endurnance fueling. Try nuts and fruit. High cals with some sugar.

I'm not training for a marathon but when I started back weightlifting at 4 weeks, my NUT had me add in more healthy carbs (fruits/veggies). She said I needed that for the short-term energy that is needed when working out that hard. It definitely helped.
