Tips about What to Eat

Figuring out what to eat before, during and after a run is very dependent on how your body responds to different foods.  There used to be a big push that encouraged runners to carb load the night before a big run so that they would have the fuel to make it through the entire run, but more recently there have been some changes to that recommendation. In reality, you need to be eating in a healthy way all of the time, and there is no need to drastically change what you eat the night before a big run.
