What to eat before a race
Hi, all!
First off, I promise I'm not looking for an excuse to carb out!
OK, so, this Sunday I'm running in my first 5k. Basically, my dream is to finish, and preferably not to finish in last place. So, I'm not looking for anything super epic, I'm just not sure what to eat for breakfast before the race. I generally run in the evening after work. I tried having tuna and some cheese for a pre-run snack once....not a great choice.
Are there any typical LC foods you recommend that will give me energy without weighing me down too much? Or should I just skip breakfast and eat afterwards?
I really know nothing about this!
