Wanted To Join Some Running Competition?

Every one of wish that he should some day participate some running race, some long distance running competition, for fun or simply to win the prize. I have taken part in some small running races and of course never finished them, let alone win the race or prize.

But you can take these wise words, if you want to parttake some running race competition.

Pre-race food strategy



Eighty per cent of the calories you consume in your pre-race meal should be from carbohydrates. Keep your protein, fat and fiber consumption low.

Avoid gas-producing foods such as onions.

Eat light in regular intervals prior to the race, lowering your carbohydrate intake as you get closer to race time.

Post-race food intake



Have a banana once you have crossed the finish line.

Consume 15 to 20 grams of protein to kick start muscle repair. This can be through a high-energy protein bar along with a fruit.



Plan prior to race


Taper down on your training runs













These are most important things only, for full instructions read the whole article:
