    Hi

    I'm running a ten mile run at the weekend for the first time.
    What should I be eating in the days coming up to it?

    Cheers

    Nothing different, only what you'd normally eat.

    And what if he/she is eating absolute crap?

    Maybe that needs to be ascertained first!

    But even if they are eating crap a day before a race is not the time to change it... its what they are used to.

    Was thinking that myself; it would be a case of too little too late.

    Or worse, never change diet before a race regardless of how good/bad it is. you don't know the effects it may have on your fuelling, your hydration or your "insides".
