you shouldn't eat within a half hour of your race, and before that, bananas and pretzels, or some type of crackers are good to eat. Good Luck

don't eat anything b4 a race or u'll get a cramp. Also drinking powrade or gatorade before a race is not a good idea...too much sugar can really get ur energy down!
also eat pasta the night b4. Some people might say eating pasta makes you fat, but since ur a runner it has alot of carbs, giving you energy.

An energy gel (GU or Powerbar gel) is good 15 mins before and then every 4 miles- depends on how far you are running. I wouldn't actually EAT anything within an hour of a race b/c it will sit in your stomach (that's not enough time for the body to break food down into useable energy)... a gel breaks down into glucose in about 15-20 minutes. (It ain't tasty but it does the job!)

What kinda race a race for a million bucks i would eat everything and the sit on the other guy whos racing you and szueesze him in the ground and then i would waddle to the money and spend all of it on expensive diets to lose all the weight. ONE thing gained Experience on how to squeeze someone to the ground.

Protien bar of some sort. Gaterade, Powerade, or Propel are excellent things to wash it down with, too.

Pasta, loading up on carbs gives you energy. Plus is a full hearty meal.
