Proper Eating

Yes, what do you eat to get your best performance? Personally, I tend to be safe with what I eat and not experiment. I usually recommend to not eat anything of a substantial quantity within 2 hours of a race (a small fruit snack or piece of a plain bagel or your food of choice should be sufficient about 30 minutes prior to a warm-up to keep fuel in the tank). If it's a shorter and faster race, eat even further out from race time. A shorter and faster race will usually get the stomach more easily irritated. Typically, eat what you do normally before your training runs.
