For my marathon I used Hal Higdon's novice 2 plan with a little modification to add some extra miles. As far as nutrition, it's going to take a lot of experimentation because everyone's gut reacts different. I used water and GU. I took one per hour. Probably needed a little more. I chose GU because it's easy to carry and easy for me to stomach. Use your long runs to experiment with different fuel and stick with the one that works. Good luck!

I was a bag of bones at the end of my honeymoon period. I did not do any weight training while in the honeymoon phase, stuck to cardio and running. Patience is the toughest part of the process.
Mon- gardened for 2 hours, was really hot!
Tues- 90 min Bikram Yoga & 2- 15 min walks
Wed-2-15 min walks
Thurs- 90 min Bikram Yoga
Fri- hiking?
Sat- 5K (probably walking more than running)
Sun- rest

Looks like one serving of GU gel has 22 g of carbs and no protein ? Does This is cause you to have dumping syndrome ? I ran 13 miles on Saturday and ate a protein bar the half-point but I'm very concerned about eating anything with 22 carbs in it?
I don't dump. And yeah it's a lot of carbs, but it's a balance thing. I did this so I could live my life and right now that includes running an absurd amount of miles. To do that, I have to eat carbs. Fruit would be ideal, but I can't carry fruit for 3 hours and have it be edible. It's just a personal choice that you'll have to make. Can I do without, maybe. But I feel better with. And there's no temptation of eating to much GU. That ****s nasty.

Just curious about GU ? Does it cause dumping problems ? It looks like in one serving this 22 carbs & no protein ?

Hello I have registered for a half marathon in mid October.
This past Saturday I was able to Jog 13 miles . I Ate a protein bar at the halfway point during the run. My recovery time was really not too bad at all. Now I am thinking about registering for a full marathon for the first week of November . Advice for marathon training plans ? Any advice about proper nutrition for training for a marathon after weight-loss surgery ? Thanks
