In this episode of the marathon running podcast, we discuss
the complexities of fueling during long runs with Registered Dietitian Serena Marie, RD. We explore how our bodies may not accurately signal fueling needs during extended exercise, due to factors like diverted blood flow and stress
hormones affecting digestion. Early warning signs of inadequate fueling include hunger pangs and other symptoms. Newer runners or those returning from a break
might find it harder to gauge their hunger cues. To ensure proper fueling, runners can implement practical strategies such as consuming easy-to-digest foods and drinks at regular intervals. Finding the right balance between energy
intake and digestive comfort is crucial to avoid overdoing it with fuel.

In this episode of the Mathon Running Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Patrick Davitt, Ph.D., to dissect the daunting concept of hitting the wall during marathons. With Dr. Davitt's expertise, we unravel the intricacies surrounding
this endurance barrier and explore strategies to overcome it.

Our conversation begins by defining the "wall" and its multifaceted nature, touching on both physiological and psychological factors. Dr. Davitt offers insights into who is
predisposed to hitting this wall, emphasizing the critical role of glycogen depletion in endurance performance.

Delving into performance optimization, we discuss the ideal marathon running zone, aiming for around 80% of maximum heart rate for peak efficiency. Dr. Davitt then shares practical
training techniques tailored for marathon success, focusing on energy management and efficient fuel utilization.

Fueling the body effectively emerges as a key theme, with Dr. Davitt providing guidance on maximizing energy
reserves and transitioning to fat metabolism for sustained endurance. We also explore the psychological aspects of hitting the wall, drawing on insights from elite athletes to overcome mental barriers and physical fatigue.

Finally, we address strategies to avoid hitting the wall altogether, even with meticulous preparation. Dr. Davitt offers actionable tips for runners to mitigate the risk and ensure a smoother marathon experience.
