Track meet tomorrow! suggested foods, drinks, other tips?

Question

What food, drinks and other stuff should I pack? I'm running the 800 and 200 (might not do 200 because of recently sprained ankle) and shot put and long jump (again, may not do long jump)

Answer 1

Stay away from pop, caffeine dehydrates your body, and the sugar will leave you feeling tired.

I would suggest eating a small meal of "good food" or a protein bar about 1 1/2 hours before you run.

Most experts say it takes 2 days to completely hydrate your body.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Start with either a 5 hour energy shot or a "Stress" Multi-B Vitamin Suppliment.

B Vitamins help with energy and stress... You will need lots of energy and a compitition causes a lot of stress!

Pasta with Chicken and Veggies...

Carbs, Protine, and Vitamins...

Good luck to you!!

Answer 8

you should stay away from milk the day of the meet because it will get heavy in your stomach. the night before you shold go on a carb load with lots of protein. you should do the same in the morning. make sure you stay hidrated, you may also want to drink an eltroylite drink or a watered down gaterade. don't drink to much right before your race or you might get a cramp.

good luck!
