LSR Nutrition

doledude86

Hey guys,

Hope someone can point me in the right direction, done the DCM two years ago and havent run as much since then but now want to get back into it, Ive started off slow and am back to a routine Im going to attempt between 8-10miler tomoro for the first time since 09 but have built up.

The one concern I have is my nutrition I never had an issue with it before but im finding as im cutting out the bad stuff Im not eating enough before the run so I dont feel bloating but inside Im feeling more tired and finding it hard to kick on.

Is there any thread or advice ppl know of what I should be eating say tomoro before my run to help improve me

PS Id like to wish all the entries to the DCM who post and also the ones who do not post in this forum the very best of luck, Your posts and training logs etc are amazing.

I've started having a toasted wholemeal bagel with honey about 1 hr before my long run. Very digestable and no issues so far. Will add porridge when I go above 2 hrs.

Porridge with a banana, dried fruit, honey and milk does the biz for me, usually 2 hrs before an LSR.
Fruit, yogurt, toast with pennut butter also work for me.
You'll need to find the balance of when to eat beforehand, so that you don't feel too full on your run. You will have to experiment with different foods to see what suits you best.
