With race season quickly approaching I thought I’d link you too this great article Hammer Nutrition put out on what to eat on the day of the race. You can find this article HERE.
Here is a summary of the article, however I HIGHLY encourage you to read the whole thing.
You work so hard throughout your training, making sure you tune your diet, supplement program, training, and recovery to exactly fit your personal needs. Following these steps regarding your pre-race meal will put the final touches on all of your hard work, giving you the best advantage for your important race.
- Eat a pre-race meal of 200-400 calories at least three hours before exercise.
- Focus on complex carbs, starches, and a little protein for your pre-race meal.
- Avoid high fiber, simple sugars, and high fat in your pre-race meal.
- If you must, consume a small amount of your supplemental fuel (Hammer Gel, etc.) about five minutes before exercise.
- Make sure that you re-supply your muscle glycogen by eating a good recovery meal after your workouts.
