I don't usually eat red meat so I stay clear before a race: pasta with a relatively plain sauce, veggie pizza with some but not too much cheese, large chicken salad with potato or bread for extra carbs, chicken or turkey sandwich/sub, even a hearty soup with chicken and bread or potatoes. Sometimes while on travel w/o a rental car all I have access to is a Subways or 7-11 ...<BR/><BR/>Breakfast is usually the same though: 2 bagels, banana and coffee. During a marathon, gels, a familiar sports drink and/or just water.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847337277189839167.post-21478149164459494112007-07-02T20:10:00.000+00:002007-07-02T20:10:00.000+00:00Maddy - I love your devotion to pasta and sausage ...Maddy - I love your devotion to pasta and sausage and if it works for you, stick with it! I would stick with the pasta - how about an amatriciana (bacon) sauce sometimes? The health nuts aren't going to love it but you do need to work out what works for you. I'm definitely a pasta girl pre-races but play it safe with just tomato sauce.. I think you probably want to put your variety into your post-race meal, not your pre-race meal - if you've found out what works, stick with it.Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847337277189839167.post-4297264002325341112007-07-02T17:43:00.000+00:002007-07-02T17:43:00.000+00:00Terry and I have the same pre-marathon meal!

Steak and baked potato (of course, I have only done one marathon). <BR/><BR/>Pre-long-run, though, I just try to eat something "good" and "healthy" for dinner the night before. Nothing too wild. That's for afterwards! <BR/><BR/>Breakfast is always oatmeal. <BR/><BR/>I will have to try your pasta and sausage. It sounds amazing!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516566884075321281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847337277189839167.post-84818148457789119412007-07-02T12:47:00.000+00:002007-07-02T12:47:00.000+00:00Before Marathons, I typically have a steak and a b...Before Marathons, I typically have a steak and a big Baked Potato. I also have a potato the two days out as well.<BR/><BR/>On non-marathon pre-race dinners, I usually have some sort of pasta (either Chinese or regular spaghetti), but now that we are experimenting with a Gluten Free diet, I will have to switch to rice noodles. This will also affect my pre-race breakfast of bagel and PB, but I am sure that I will work something out.<BR/><BR/>I also try to eat a little "more" than normal, but don't go overboard with serving size.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622921805056352269noreply@blogger.com
