I chatted to a girl when doing Paris marathon and she said her home town Cologne marathon is brilliant fun (bands, beer, support), I think Ellie would enjoy it!

Dublin Marathon, You'd probably get elite entry too.

I did Eindhoven last year. Highly recommended. In general Marathons in the Netherlands is a must if you look for fast flat courses.

Might want to consider Antwerp marathon, also in october! Belgium's most popular marathon with a fun, flat parcours and a lot of people cheering you on!

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

Pastries are not carbohydrates, they have too much fats, and not the good ones. You should get a nutritionist cause you have plenty room for improvement there.

lol. I’m a registered dietitian and would recommend pastries if they work for Ben 😅

@rokpuhar3029 18 күн бұрын

@@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 17 күн бұрын

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.
