How to fuel during Marathon Training: My Build to the Mesa Marathon

About This Episode

Winter arc activated. 🚀 Join my 12-week build to the Mesa Marathon (Feb 14, 2026) as I use a unique training approach of Canova method with racing into shape. We’re building up long run and tune-up race at a time. In this vlog: I tackle a tough 5-mile race, then hit a steady long run with Gustavo and Michaela. The big focus today is dialing in my fueling strategy with Carbs Fuel to hit ~100g carbs per hour and train my gut for race day. With my A-race (Mesa Marathon) just 4 weeks away, this high-carb approach is key to avoiding the bonk and unlocking a PR of sub 2:40. Watch me test gels, (and a donut?), while putting in a hard long run effort.
