RTTC #41 Shoes and Fueling for Disney Marathon Training with Knee Problems

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I’m talking about picking the right shoes for your knee problem and fueling right so you don’t bonk on a training run or race day.Shoes really are particular to each person so like many other professionals I recommend getting a foot assessment, gait assessment or at least taking one of those quizzes on the shoe company’s website. There are some types of shoes that runners with knee problems should avoid and I review 1 type in particular, tri-density shoes, in this episode. In addition to that, I go out what to look at when you’re finding shoes that could work for you.Fueling is one of the easiest ways to not feel light headed and bonk on race day. I go over how much carbohydrates to eat on a training run and on race day, including when to start fueling. I include examples of real food to use as fuel, and other types like gus and gels.Learn what types of food to avoid while exercising and running to avoid mid run stomach knots and what type of food to consume when you have knee injuries and tendon issues. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
