I'm training for a marathon and want to make sure my diet supports my training. What should I be eating before and after my runs to maximize performance and recovery?

Male | 29

Consume food containing carbohydrates and protein two-three hours before the run to be full of energy. The protein shake makes sure your muscles grow and get rid of fat every weekend.
