  • Hi, I'm Michelle, 41 yr old mum from Ireland living in Sweden.

  • @martaindale sorry, I hadn't seenn your reply until now. Think I'm going to start with 50:30:20 and when I need an increase I'll try to increase with higher percentage of carbs. Yeah, I looked through my garmin and I seem to be 80 cals per km so far, but I'm cautious of that because it's not reading hr properly! The plan…

Been reading a lot on calories and macros for marathon training.... so it seems 50:30:20 (c:p:f) seems to be a balance between high carbohydrates and high protein.... and just adjusting…
