Joe Wicks - I’m calling b*llsh*t 😤
Running a marathon on no fuel, no fluids, no toilet stops?
That’s not elite. That’s not smart. And it’s definitely not something to promote to the masses.
As a coach, this is exactly the kind of messaging that gets people into trouble.
A marathon is:
- 26.2 miles
- Hours of effort
- A huge demand on your body
Turning up under- fuelled and dehydrated isn’t impressive - it’s risky.
This is what my race actually looked like 👆
A marathon isn’t about “toughing it out” at all costs. It’s about managing your energy, hydration, and effort over time.
With London Marathon just a week away, don’t get caught up in this NONSENSE!
Eat well.
Drink well.
Run well.
Your body will thank you for it.
