This weekend I'm running the Ventura Marathon, cold willing. Planning ahead eating nutrient dense foods, lots of carbs, and hydrating well.
The last road marathon I ran was the San Francisco Marathon in July, and there was a mid-race bonk and a 5:37 finish time. Currently my 42k PR is 5:24:01. Since this summer I've went from running 15-20 miles a week to averaging over 30 miles a week, and continuing my training for the Whoo's in El Moro 50k this October.
Last year I deferred my entry to the Ventura Marathon to this year, so I'm going to be driving to Ventura on Saturday to go to the expo and pick up my race bib, timing chip, shirt, and goody bag. I am not sure where I'll be having dinner yet, but more than likely I'll be taking some food with me as well.
For now, here is the packing list:
Comfy clothes for the expo on Saturday and walking shoes. Pajamas so as not to disturb my hotelmate.
Inari for breakfast on Sunday, and a can of cofee so I can get my caffeine.
Hoka One One Bondi B road shoes
Injinji toe socks
Patagonia women's active hipster underoos
Under Armour Protegee Sports Bra
Lululemon Dart and Dash run shorts
Ink N Burn shirt
Prescription Sunglasses
Buff
Hat TBD
Garmin 310xt
Nathan 22oz Water Bottle
Honey Stinger Chews
Dates
Hammer Endurolytes
Hammer Perpetuem
I'm still trying to figure out how much fuel to take with me. When I ran the SF marathon I didn't eat breakfast, or take any gels with me. I did have Hammer Perpetuem in my botttle, but it wasn't enough and I bonked at mile 17. This time I will eat Inari for breakfast... yes, Japanese food. Sushi rice tucked into tofu bags. It sounds strange, perhaps, but it is delicious and easy on the stomach. I need to experiment with how much to eat how soon before a run. I also discovered that I really like Honey Stinger Chews, but again, need to work out the formula with that and Perpetuem for a 5hr marathon (that's the eventual goal, anyway).

For after:
Hammer Recoverite and unsweetened alkali free Cocoa Powder in a Blender Bottle
Vita Coco
Water
A dry shirt
A towel for the seat of the car.
