Nutrition for a 2pm race? (Read 257 times)


Shakedown Street

    I have done a couple of afternoon races. I noticed I was slightly faster@ same effort in the afternoon.

     

    On nutrition-it's a 5k. Get up eat breakfast, eat a snack before. I would not really think anything special beyond my daily routine.

    Started-5/12, RWOL refugee,5k-24:23 (1/12/13),10K-55:37(9/15/12),HM-1:52:59(3/24/13)

      I would eat a decent sized breakfast and a very light lunch around 11:30.

       

      +1.

       

      That sounds good. I would get it close to what you would normally eat, but for lunch a bit on the early/light side. Do you ever do training runs at that time? It's a bit of an odd time, isn't it!

        I think I'm going to go with a normal breakfast (cereal, or possibly pancakes with the kids), and then a PB sandwich around 11:30.  See you tomorrow! Big grin

        Do you even run?
