Considerations. You can change your calorie intake during training if you feel it is necessary. If you're gaining weight, try eating 200 calories less per day. Likewise, if your training is suffering and you lack energy, you're probably not eating enough, so add in an extra 200 calories each day.
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.
