How can I manage hydration on a Ultra Marathon?

Try to get a good carbohydrate-rich breakfast 2-3 hours before the allocated start time. Toast or bagels with jam, porridge with honey or other cereals are great options here.

Don’t forget hydration. Most people typically dehydrate slightly through the night and you don’t want to hit the start line in a dehydrated state. Aim to sip 500ml of water or an electrolyte drink a couple of hours before you start – it can be easy to forget this in the buzz of the pre-event period!

A final carb top-up around 30 minutes before the go will make sure your glycogen stores and blood glucose levels are ready to feed the muscles right from the start.
