I am training for my first marathon (to lose weight most of all). I am hoping to break 6 hours and therefore I am wondering if I can just do a 5 Hour Energy drink to sustain me. I am thinking that the final hour or so I'll just dig deep and maybe the second wind will get me to the finish.
Thanks!
If you take two of them you should be able to finish in 2.5 hours.
Just train harder you won't have to dig so deep.
There is plenty of calories, protein and carbs in just one bottle so you'll be okay for at least 5 hours.
Not sure if you are trolling. If you are this was funny
If this is serious you need to first realize:
1.) It is 80% diet and 20% exercise for weight. Fix your diet and you won't need to train so much to lose weight. It is way easier than trying to run a bunch
I am not saying running a lot is bad but for weight loss it is pretty stupid. Just stop eating so much
2.) You need to work on training instead of looking to take a 5 hour energy supplement. Especially for your slow fat butt time you are aiming for
If you only drink 1 bottle at the start, you will certainly hit the wall when your 5 hours of energy are up. Make sure you carry an extra bottle and drink exactly 1/5th of it at the 5 hour mark. You'll be fine then. You may have to adjust your intake on the fly, if the 6 hour goal turns out to be too aggressive. Maybe bring a calculator along to figure out how much more to consume if you are looking at a 6:15 finish time.
pretty lame.
0/10.
enjoy your walk and you can stop at any number of chinese take outs, chicken shacks, pizza parlors and burger joints on your walk no need to be a bottle baby
5 hour energy is too much energy. I would say drink 3/5 of the bottle but then you'll only have 60% energy for five hours.
What you need to do is go find some three hour energy drink and drink a bunch of them, then that way you will have a lot of energy but only for three hours. So you can run a 3 hour marathon and then chill out. your welcome.
this is what you need if your goal is 6 hours: http://www.6hrpower.com/
keep the bottle in your pocket for the first hour, then pound it and you should be good until you finish.

To know if that bottle will sustain you, we need to know your PBs from 2014. Please provide height, weight etc.
Also, tell us what success you've had with other energy bottles.
