    Having run Eindhoven marathon last year i can definitely recommend it. Nice flat course, lots of crowd support and weather in october is usually perfect for running. Also Eindhoven has it's own airport but getting to Eindhoven from Amsterdam/Schiphol airport is also very easy/quick. I'm planning of running the half marathon there as a tune up race for Valencia

      @@laurenmillyx first read the caption. Pastries are empty calories and should not be eaten before an important event. As a “dietitian” you should have known that. No matter if one likes them or not. Before a marathon race the focus is on quality carbs and some protein. A good dietitian knows that and the formula is also very simple.

  • @veganaus
    @veganaus 19 дней назад

    You should probably look at carbo loading a bit more scientifically. That was not a carbo load at all. You had high fat foods and the pasta for dinner (12 hours before the race) is too late to adequately replenish glycogen stores.
