Before:

My Goal:
To practice healthy eating to properly fuel my workouts while maintaining or possibly losing some weight. My current short term goal is to re-qualify for Boston at the California International Marathon in December. To re-qualify, I need a 3 hour 45 minute marathon. Would like to get to an ideal racing weight (around 110 pounds), but don't want to "diet" as typical diets do not provide enough to properly fuel my workouts.


About me:
42 year old runner. I was 175 pounds 4 years ago. Lost weight and started running. Have kept it off for 3-1/2 years now through exercise primarily, although I have dabbled in dieting to help maintain my loss if I see things going awry.


Diets I like:
Take Shape for Life


Workout of choice:
Running; Biking; Swimming


My plan:
Training plan in place for my marathon. Now I just need to transition to healthier eating, while maintaining the fueling needs for my marathon training.


I need the most help with:
Figuring out how to fuel "while" running. Most nutrition on the market for runners is sugar based. What can I use that's on the left side of the table that I can use during long runs to properly fuel me? I don't want to use up all my "cheats" just during a long run...
