When discussing race day nutrition it is important to understand the energy requirements. The average athlete expends approximately 100 calories per mile during a marathon. During a triathlon, the athlete expends approximately 500 to 1000 calories on the swim, 3,000 to 4,000 calories on the bike, and 2,500 to 3,000 calories on the run. Wow! That is some serious energy expenditure.
The number of calories you burn while running a marathon will depend on a number of factors. Male runners, for example, typically require more energy for physical exertion than their female counterparts. Age is also a major factor -- older runners typically have a slower resting metabolic rate.
