bobjdan, thanks so much for your post! my macros are closer to 40/30/30 because I am still in 5k season, but they get closer to 50/25/25 in marathon season. I am a freak about nutrient timing, and I always have a prerun shake of 110 cal 15 carb 15 protein, and a post workout something or another that has carb and protein. I love to lift, so I am not like most women runners who are shy of protein or lifting. I track in the daily plate and most days get at least 140grams.
I have done 3 marathons, one at 208 pounds, one around 180ish and the most recent around 175. for my first two marathons, I lost minimal weight because I was doing exactly what you said--thinking I could eat the house because I ran long. the last one I did better with fueling but still didnt lose a ton of scale weight, but certainly did some body recomposition.
am thinking of bay state in october, and I am really looking forward to it. running is so much easier in the body I have today. I can't believe how much my fitness is improving now that it is easier to run hard track workouts and tempo runs.
post your website, I would like to check it out. thanks again.
