Running Brehs, What is a good meal to eat before hitting the track?

[Spliff]

What type of running?

 

[rapdonttweet]

eating b4 running=abdominal cramps

That's only if you eat a whole meal. A light snack will give you the energy to keep going before an intense workout.

Im still new at the running game and lately Ithink im eating too heavy before running

Is there types of food I should avoid?

What's going to give me energy?

Don't eat before running. If you're running for health and not for a sporting event, run either before breakfast, or before dinner. You will burn more fat w/ an empty stomach. If you must eat, eat some fruit, like an orange or grapes, or if you have a serious starch craving, you can have one of them granola bars. But personally, I think you should never eat before you run, even if long distance

True but if you're poorly nurished for your run it will likely be subpar. Your body is burning nutrients and if it is at a harsh deficit while running your will fail.

When I used to do long distance biking I would have a big pasta meal the night before and not eat before the ride

Worked great

this will work like a charm, pasta is slowly digestible so it will actually work the day after you ate it

I eat half a bagel with lite cream cheese

Best thing to eat is oatmeal, a nature valley type bar, or cereal with no milk.

That formula got me through 11 years of competitive running.
