Eat this, run that
When
you have a 5- or 10K on your
calendar, it's important to plan out what you're going to eat the morning of
the big day—something that will keep you fueled and also go down easy. While
everyone is different, most people have good luck with a high-carbohydrate
breakfast such as a small bowl of oatmeal with fruit or a couple of pieces of
toast with peanut butter. Also
make sure you eat around 200 to 250 (primarily carb) calories about 90 minutes
before you warm up for your run . And don't worry about nixing your a.m.
caffeine fix on race day. Coffee is great for athletic
performances because it makes you sharper and it may even give
you extended energy. Remember if you are running a 5 to 10K you do not get to eat as much as you would if you were running a half or full marathon. Carb up but don't carb too much that you get sick while running! Keep Simple and Light
