T -12 (Chicago Marathon): Daily training nutrition & race logistics

In the first episode of this special 6 part podcast series, we meet our athlete guest Brad White and begin the process of preparing him for the Chicago Marathon in 12 week's time. We discuss his previous marathon experience and what's gone wrong, his daily training nutrition, and start with a look at race logistics - travel, accomodation, and aid stations. If you're racing Chicago or Melbourne Marathons or another event in October or November you can follow along and apply the same principles to your own race nutrition preparations.

Back for its second season, T-12 is a brand new, unique podcast series that follows an athlete's journey as they prepare for race day. Over the final 12 weeks before the big event, we'll look at all aspects of race nutrition, from organising accomdation and race foods, to gut training and hydration, to eating during the taper and the day before the race.

A big thanks to Aid Station who have come on board to provide Brad with sports nutrition products to try in training, to assist with his race nutrition planning.
