Today Ivan got fixed :( Poor little dude. I took him in the morning and then picked him up at the end of the day. This was him after. He was so doped up that he didn't know what to do. He couldn't even walk home. He is heavy and so I got two arm workouts in today.
I am thinking about changing up what I eat before my race. I usually eat about 3-4 graham crackers and that is it. I am starting to think that is just not enough. I am always paranoid about what to eat because I don't want to upset my stomach. I know I should have figured this out sooner but oh well. I am thinking a bagel?

One of these Picky Bars. I don't even know where to find one but I just read how SR ate one before her race and she is a rock-star so I am hoping it will have the same affect on me hehe. J/k, only kinda :)
This week
Today- back and biceps
Tom- 6x400 repeats
Wed- legs
Thurs- 5 miles easy
Fri- 3 miles tempo marathon pace (still deciding what this is)
Sat- REST maybe go for a mile walk or something
Sunday Long Island Marathon WOOHOO!
So what do you eat before a big race? Anyone have a sensitive stomach? Eat anything special?

I used to do oatmeal but I would get hungry! So, finally I think I have it figured out: two pieces of bread (not toasted!) with peanut butter. Perfection :)
ReplyDeleteThats a good idea, I am going to try that this week!
DeleteThanks!
I hope you get some good answers because I'll need them to prep for my first marathon later this year! I've heard bland foods are the way to go a few hours before the race.
ReplyDeleteYes bland food is the best! I will do a post about what I find out :)
Deletewe love picky bars. Lauren's hubby is a a friend of my hubbys. she makes great bars! i think they are at WF.
ReplyDeleteDid you try the Healthy Bites yet?
Yes I made the whey healthy bites and I love them! So obsessed thanks :)))
DeleteOk great I am headed to whole foods!
Beautiful post and blog!:) Would you like to follow each other?
ReplyDeleteI love to eat a Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Peanut Almond bar an hour before the race. I experimented with what was best for me to eat and when it was best for me to eat it though. That varies for everyone in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteI love love those bars! I have them. Gonna try it out. I know it does vary for everyone. It is hard because everyone's stomach is so different so you never really know what is gonna work until you try it.
DeleteThx for the great idea!
Oh dang, I don't know if I can handle the spicy hot V8 without a little somethin' somethin' extra.
ReplyDeleteI can't eat anything before I run, never any medications or vitamins. I have a tendency to get projectile vomit sick and end up walking back. I figured that one out early on. But while I run I have no problems. So I eat at least a mini Lemon Luna bar 20 minutes into a run.
Good luck on your race!
Whoa girl! That is rough. I would most likely pass out soon after if I didn't eat anything lol! The lemon luna bar sounds de-lish!
DeleteThanks!
