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.
Before your long run, see which foods settle best in your stomach. Just like you train your muscles to run, you need to train your stomach to accept foods that sustain you. Once your stomach adapts to a particular food before long runs, DO NOT introduce a foreign pre-run meal on race day. For example, if you eat a bowl of oatmeal one hour before every training run, then donât eat a protein bar on race day; treat race day just like every other run. Introducing an unrecognized food into your regimen will only upset your already nervous stomach. Itâs important to eat before long runs.
