GourmetFuel® have been announced as official nutrition partner to the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon. To mark this new partnership, SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon are launching a new, comprehensive nutrition advice section on their interactive website. This new section provides information around all areas of nutrition specific to marathon running. http://
GourmetFuel® are providing any SSE Airtricity participants with tailored event preparation meal plans to aid their training in the build-up as well as recovery hampers after the big race is over. All of this is designed specifically to help fuel performance and recovery and ultimately save runners hours of time and on the preparation of their food.
As a marathon runner you will burn approximately 3,000 calories during the race while also reducing fat levels, losing essential electrolytes and may end up substantially dehydrated. In order to prevent further damage to the body and to aid recovery, it is important to have a diet rich in the correct nutrients, well thought out hydration techniques and adequate energy.
Emma Buckley, Director of Nutrition at GourmetFuel®, who works with athletes across many sports, has designed a tasty and balanced range of meals, designed to help athletes stay on track to hit their goals.
