Qualifying exigency leave, like leave for a serious health condition, is a FMLA-qualifying reason for which an eligible employee may use his or her entitlement for up to 12 workweeks of FMLA leave each year.
Considerations. You can change your calorie intake during training if you feel it is necessary. If you're gaining weight, try eating 200 calories less per day. Likewise, if your training is suffering and you lack energy, you're probably not eating enough, so add in an extra 200 calories each day.
When to Eat. The day before your marathon, spread your calories out throughout the day, so that you're eating something every two to three hours. Eat three normal-sized meals and two to four snacks. About 65-70% of your calories come from carbohydrates, so try to add an extra serving of carbs to your meals and make sure your snacks are mostly carbs.
