Dana,

Never having been a runner, I can't help with your other question, but

let me just say... CONGRATULATIONS! That is so super

spectacular.

SCD really WORKS!

Dates and/or raisins(if you can tolerate dried fruits) are great for after a

long run. THey are high on the glycemic index, so replenish your glycogen

stores quickly. I have tried them during long runs, but they sometimes gave me

cramps. I have also just used honey in little baggies during long runs (just

tore off an end and squeezed it into my mouth). That worked great, but was a

bit of a hassle. I have not found any power foods that are legal.

Best of luck!

I meant to add that bananas were my favorite pre-run food.

Congratulations Dana on your upcoming marathon!

When I was at my sickest, I couldn't venture out of the house or walk a block to

the store. When I got better, I felt so happy to be able to run for miles

without needing a bathroom that I ran a couple marathons (although I did have to

stop and use the bathrooms along the course at least half a dozen times).

Anyway, I would highly recommend coconut water, which I have recently

discovered. I drank it before a 7 mile race this summer and it worked

beautifully. I drank it an hour before the race so it had time to get into my

system and then sipped water 10 minutes before the race. If you are carrying

water supplies with you, this might be a great addition to the water.

I'm not sure what you can use for food supply during the marathon. I used GU

(pre SCD), which I'm sure has tons of sugar. But it was soft and easily

digestible so maybe something that's mushy or already half digested would be

good.

Let me know what you figure out and maybe I can try it as well.

Best,

inflamedmom

Do be aware that coconut water from green coconuts is illegal, though the water

from the fully ripened brown husky coconuts is legal. This was discussed at

length with Elaine.

Suneeti,Do you know if the benefit from the mature coconut water is the same as the young coconut water?AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Fri, September 10, 2010 5:36:35 PMSubject: Re: (SCD LEGAL) marathon training !!!

I am guessing, but I would think it definitely should have some benefit since

the coconut itself has such wonderful properties. Since the mature coconut has

ripened, the water from this stage of the coconut was allowed by Elaine.

Hi Dana,

That's awesome that you feel so great to do a marathon!

I'm sorry I have no advice for you as I only did marathons before I got Crohn's,

but I'd love to hear about your experience with training and how you feel. Keep

us posted! I hope one day I feel good enough to at least get a regular running

schedule back, and you've given me hope.

Best of luck with your training and SCD nutrition!

Hi Dana,

That's awesome! I'm training for the LA marathon as well. I'm trying to figure

out what to eat too. So far I've substituted the illegal drinks with watered

down salted juices. Seems to work so far. My plan for the longer runs is to

carry some almond crackers and maybe some banana chips.

Are you training with a group? If you're running with the Leggers on Sat, I

would love to meet you!

Take care,

Raj
