If you’re preparing for a half-marathon, getting your nutrition and hydration right is just as important as your training. To perform at your best and keep fatigue at bay, it’s essential to have a plan in place — not just for race day, but also in the weeks leading up to it.

Whether you’re training for your first marathon or looking to improve on a previous performance, one thing is clear: a well-practised fuelling and hydration plan is essential if you want to perform at your best and steer clear of common nutrition pitfalls.
