With marathon season underway, we consulted Sports Nutritionist and Host of TLC’s Honey We’re Killing the Kids Felicia Stoler, to find out how we can prepare mentally and physically to reach our goals and ultimately kick butt!
1.) Set a Goal! It's important to name your objective and set a realistic time-table for achieving it. What better goal to have than complete a 5K, 10K or a marathon?
2.) Physical training beforehand is key to having a successful race.
The more you run the more capable and confident you will become. Your body can be trained to go the distance!
3.) There are plenty of different liquids you can drink during training and after heavy exercise, but a recent study among adults found that consuming 2% chocolate milk, such as NESQUIK Ready to Drink, helped them work out longer during a second round of exercise. (International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 2006).

| As a former competitive runner, I would recommend carbo-loading. Each night before the race my teammates and I would go out for pasta. Although I don't think we needed to consume as much pasta as we did (we would eat huge plates full), it's still a great way to fuel. | |
