What to eat before and while doing a long run?

Question • 7 answers

I've joined 3 half marathon events. I felt hungry on 2 of those events at around the 17km mark. I felt I was running low on energy and as a result I was running slower than normal. BTW I don't like energy gels.

Newest answer

I also recommend organic dried dates, they are full of carbohydrates, yet very healthy. Always work for me, but you need to find what is best for you.

If she has been low-carb for quite some time her body should be oxidising fats pretty well. She is overtraining and under eating which can hamper weight loss just as much. Tell her to take an extra rest day in her week until she can get her diet in order, c...

Question • 5 answers

I am looking at changing my diet because my body does not like carbs (IBS) but I love running.  I am looking into buring "fat" rather than "Carbs" when I run as this can help me.   How did you find it?  How is it going?  Is it good/Bad/Ugly? 

Newest answer

Read the Runner's Diet....it will tell you everything you need to know about carbs proteins and fats.  It will discuss when to eat them and how your body burns each macronutrient.  A lot of interesting comments on here and a lot of helpful ones.
