Basically i just want to know what's the best food to eat before training, not a match, because in training we usually play an hour long match with no subs because of low numbers, so it's constant running up and down the court with barely any breaks. I do feel drained after 20-25 mins (Im only back playing a month ago after a 3 year break).

So any tips to last a bit longer, other than drink plenty of water, which i do.

edit - it just got a response in health and fitness so mods feel free to delete this if is not allowed to stay up
