In this video, Brodie talks about the importance of a fueling strategy for best marathon results. He shares his experience of hitting the wall and experiencing GI issues at 25 km during his first marathon because of a lack of a fueling plan and training preparation.

Learn how to train your gut to tolerate carbs before running, and how to stomach foods like smoothies, bread, fruit, and muesli bars without GI issues. Also, learn how to tolerate carbs mid-race and the correct timing of taking race gels. By following these steps, runners can avoid hitting the wall and improve their performance on race day.
