Fueling Ana Goncalves: Completing 30 Marathons in 30 Days
At True Food, we pride ourselves on supporting athletes through their toughest challenges, providing the right nutrition to help them perform at their best. Recently, we had the privilege of fuelling Ana Goncalves as she took on the incredible challenge of completing 30 marathons in 30 days, all on the official Jersey Marathon route. Here’s how we supported her to reach this phenomenal achievement.
The Challenge
Ana’s challenge wasn’t just about endurance - it was a test of consistency, mental toughness, and dedication. Ana took on the monumental task of completing 30 marathons in 30 consecutive days, each race under 5 hours, and all on the official Jersey Marathon route. With the added pressure of daily marathons, the nutritional demands were high, and it was vital to ensure Ana had the right fuel to recover and keep going each day.
Our Solution
To ensure Ana could maintain the energy and performance required, we implemented a comprehensive nutrition plan that tracked and supported her through the entire challenge.
Daily Tracking of Food Intake: We carefully monitored Ana’s food intake before, during, and after each marathon to ensure she was getting the proper nutrients at the right times. This was key in managing her energy levels, preventing fatigue, and supporting recovery.
Race Day Food Solutions: For each marathon, we provided race-specific food solutions to support Ana throughout her run. This included energy gels, hydration drinks, and snacks that were easy to digest and delivered quick energy when she needed it most.
Hydration Tracking: Staying hydrated during 30 marathons was crucial for Ana’s performance. We tracked her hydration levels daily, making sure she consumed the right amount of fluids to prevent dehydration, enhance endurance, and aid recovery.
Body Weight and Skinfold Assessments: Monitoring Ana’s body weight and skinfold measurements multiple times throughout the challenge helped us track her physical condition and adjust her nutrition as needed. This ensured she stayed healthy and fuelled, while also preventing any muscle loss or other issues.
The Results
Ana successfully completed 30 marathons in 30 days, all under 5 hours and with the support of her dedicated team and our nutrition plan. Her commitment, along with the careful planning of nutrition and recovery, allowed her to complete each marathon on the official Jersey Marathon route - one of the most challenging feats we’ve had the honour to support.
By fueling Ana with the right nutrition, we helped her maintain consistent energy, prevent fatigue, and achieve one of the most remarkable endurance feats.
Ana’s achievement is a testament to her incredible strength and perseverance. At True Food, we’re thrilled to have played a part in helping her achieve such a monumental goal. We look forward to continuing to support athletes like Ana as they take on and conquer new challenges!
