Of course, James notes that the “best part” about completing the upcoming marathon is “finishing.”
“The worst parts are some of the injuries or small challenges that happen during the long training — even though that is a part of the journey — but one rough run can really set you back,” he says.
When the athlete crosses the finish line, he’ll celebrate “with my favorite meals — that includes dessert first, and many dishes that I eat guilt-free!” he exclaims. “And knowing during the race that I can have all of that food is so worth it, especially since I feel really good about how I’ve been fueling up with Vita Coco throughout training and race day.”
