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.
Race Day. For best performance, eat three to four hours before a race so that your body has time to digest your food. Target foods that are light and easy to digest with a low glycemic index so that your body can release the energy quickly. Liquid and soft foods are even better.he best options for a prerace meal are yogurt, honey, energy bars, bananas and other fruits, but don't eat any foods unless you know how they'll affect you; digestive issues are the last thing you want to experience on race day.
