Frank Shorter couldn’t have imagined the impact his 1972 Olympic marathon victory would have on the sport. “I was just a piece in the puzzle,” he said.

If race will exceed 75 min, a modest use of carbohydrate drinks & gels (supplying ~30 gm/hr) is recommended. For race durations of 120+ min, carbohydrate supplementation supplying 60–75 gm/hour will help stave off the worst effects of glycogen depletion.

Your speed will determine if and how you need to consume carbs to fuel your half marathon.
