Marathon training involves more than just pounding the pavement. Eating a balanced diet is also essential. During your training period, the right foods will provide essential nutrients, electrolytes, and energy for runs and recovery.
It tends to be easier to plan breakfasts and dinners since they're typically eaten at home. Lunch is trickier because you're usually at work or at school. However, if you're gearing up for a marathon, it's critically important to eat a balanced midday meal. (See 3 Ways to Pack a Healthier Lunch.)
