Nutritional preparation for the Annecy Marathon 2025

With the 2025 Annecy Marathon just weeks away, your nutritional preparation is crucial to optimizing your performance on the course between lake and mountains.

The importance of proper nutrition before the race

Proper nutrition is essential to maximize your energy reserves and minimize the risk of digestive upset during the race. Focus on complex carbohydrates, combined with lean protein. Limit fiber. Increase your water intake 3-4 days before the event.

Glycogen loading strategy for the last few days

Increase your carbohydrate intake and reduce your training intensity in the 7 to 10 days leading up to your workout. Stimium's Marathon Plus Pack can effectively support this strategy.

Nutrition the day before and morning of the marathon

The ideal meal the day before the race

Optimal breakfast on D-day

Eat breakfast around 5:30 a.m. Choose familiar foods rich in medium- to high-GI carbohydrates. Plan a snack and final hydration before departure.
