Your body needs fuel for long runs. If you happen to finish a long run and are ravenous, your body is telling you, you didn't consume enough carbohydrates prior to the run and it consumed fuel from its muscle stores, vital muscle your body needs and depleted essential minerals within your muscles. Take care and make sure you are getting the right amount of carbohyrates ( fuel) prior to race day. Your want a personal best (PB) train as well as fuel -up!


Good Luck!!
