    Hi Guys,

    Looking for advice for a multivitamin to take during marathon training. Loads of advice and sales pitches online bit just wondered if anyone could let me know what they recommend?

    Thanks

    Other than a proper diet, staying hydrated with sufficient protein and carbohydrates from whole food to get the right nutrients I would think topping up on iron, zinc,magnesium and vitamin d might do no harm.

    The best thing you can do is learn to get rest, proper rest. No amount of multivitamins will help unless you do this.

    I have taken Revive Active in the last 6 weeks of Marathon training for the past few years. Could be a placebo effect but I think it helps me

    I am using Aldi's Activ Max multivitamins at the moment. Looks as good as any to me, and very cost effective.

    I take Boots version of Berroca as they are frequently on sale. I got three tubes recently for €1:80 total.

    Saying that, I don't think they do much but it forces me to sip on 750ml water in the morning, and that's worth it to me.
