Fueling

**edit to answer some questions**

  1. I do have some history of running though I mainly was a thrower in high school. But I did some running in our training and did a few other sports. Running isn’t really new to me just the distance is.
  2. The heat here has definitely impacted it. I am running a lot less because of it. On a typical day without a heat wave I am still kind of hitting a wall at the two hour mark.
  3. I am working on checking some vitamin and lab levels to see if that could impact me. My family has a history of some deficiencies

.
4. Always electrolytes every day. I’m a very salty sweater.
5. I am in a deficit though because of this I have increased my deficit and protein intake a lot within the past two weeks.

Hello! I’m currently training for my first marathon and am having horrible me luck fueling. I don’t even know how to explain my issue. My legs or chest down hurt and aren’t tired, but I feel like insanely tired and weak at like miles 6-8. I’ve always been known for being extremely hydrated so I know that’s not the issue. I’m really struggling with this and it’s so upsetting. I feel like I could do more but I something in my body tells me not to or I’ll pass out.
Thank you!

Oreo alternative…need help

Not sure who else has this issue but I CAN NOT eat Oreos. I have what we assume are gallbladder issues (HIDA scan coming up) and have severe pain and discomfort when I eat certain foods. I typically eat pretty clean, no fried/fast food, lots of fruits and veggies, low sugar intake. But one thing I have found may be the WORST trigger are Oreos. Which sucks because sometimes I want a small sweet treat of two Oreos after a long workout or stressful day.

So does anyone know of any Oreo alternatives that don’t give you a gallbladder attack? Also any other sweet treats/cookies. I really have been cutting all out for a while and want to add some back into my diet to have a little fun this summer!
TYIA!!
