Question

Im getting ready to run a 5k and i am wondering what i should eat before the race?

Answer 1

I eat pasta the night before a race, but i dont stuff myself. Dont eat anything thats harsh on the stomach or heavy such as beef. The morning of the race, i have a small bowl of wholesome cereal such as cheerios about a hour and a half before my race. I always drink 1 whole bottle of water an hour before the race (make sure u go to the bathroom before ur race if u do this.)

U dont really have to worry about eating energy bars and energy foods. The feeling u want to go into the race is your content. You dont want to feel there is food in ur stomach but u dont want to be hungry.

Goood luck and hope u do well!

Answer 2

Load up on carbs because they'll give you more energy, things like bread, cereal, rice, mainly grains. Also drink a lot of water and be sure to pace yourself. Good luck!

Answer 3

You don't need any special food. Eat something simple the night before, stay away from meat and protein. The morning of the race eat some oatmeal or a little fruit. The biggest problem would be to have something on your stomach that would make you feel ill.

Drink plenty of water so you are not dehydrated.
