Ive ran the London Marathon Twice before with good times but haven't broke the 3 hour mark due to hitting the dreaded wall around 22 miles.They say its due to lack of Glycogen at this point so i need to know what foods will provide the best way to beat the wall and store plenty of Glycogen for this point.Serious answers pleaseeeeee!!!|||you want to have low gi carbs about an hour before hand, oats are perfect, this will be slow release to feed your body with carbs during your exercise
and whilst running you want a fast acting carb source to replenish your glycogen levels in your system as soon as possible, something containing dextrose would be ideal. energy drinks specifically tailored for sports such as lucozade will do the trick|||Pasta. Worked great for my track meets.|||pasta|||Chips mate, with mushy peas.|||pasta.|||gatorade and spaghetti dinners|||Sugar|||noodles bread basically anything related to those to|||definitely pasta and Gatorade.|||Here's a great article on the Top 10 Glycogen recovery foods:

lots of fruits as well. also try to lay off the simple carbs and cram in more complex carbs (the nutrient dense ones..ie beans...)
good luck dude! i'm rooting for you!
when you get to that wall, just remember.. it's all mental willpower.
