As a runner, I know that food is fuel â and the better the fuel I put into my body, the better the performance my body gives me. What you eat 30 to 60 minutes before a run can dictate your performance; thus, it's important to make wise, healthy pre-run food choices. When training for a race, it's important to eat before your long runs (those that last more than an hour) and any key workout, such as hill repeats, a tempo run or a track workout. If you're running easy or on a recovery day, you should still have something to eat before you head out. Meghan Reynolds.
Eat Right. Eat at least 300 calories an hour before the race starts. Test out your food choices during you training so that you know which foods help fuel your body for a long run. And, if you feel your body needs more food, eat your final snack no more than 30 minutes before the start of the race.
