A good entry point if you want a simple, repeatable strategy you can test before race day.
Marathon fueling works when the plan is simple enough to survive pace, stations, heat, and late-race fatigue. The goal is not to chase heroic numbers. It is to protect pace with intake you can actually execute from the first hour onward.
Point 1
Start fueling early so the plan is already working before the race gets hard.
Point 2
Build the setup around stations, pace, and what you can actually take at marathon effort.
Point 3
Rehearse breakfast, first gel, and fallback decisions before race week.
