Adequate fluid intake is very important!. Be sure to stay hydrated during training!. A good way to tell if you are adequately hydrated is to check your urine!. If you frequently urinate large volumes that are light in color, your probably drinking enough!. If you do not urinate frequently or if your urine is dark colored, you may need to increase your fluid intake!.
During your training, be sure to try out what you will eat and drink on the day of the race!. Eat what you are planning to eat at the same time you plan to eat it on the day you are doing a distance run if you are training for a distance race (10K, half or full marathon, for example)!.
The day Before the Race
Rest the day before an event, and focus on eating about 70% of your calories from carbohydrate!.
Double your water intake!.
Be sure you have everything you will need to eat and drink thought through and ready to go if the race is in the morning!.
During the Race
Be sure you eat only what you are used to the day of a race!. This is no time to test out new foods!. Always follows what works best for you!. In general, avoid big meals 2-3 hours before an event!. Small meals that are lower in fiber, fat and protein may be better tolerated!. Within an hour of the race, snack on only those things that you know you can tolerate!. Some people experience low blood sugar during a race if they eat very sugary things within one hour of racing!. Others feel nauseated if they eat anything an hour or two before running!.
Be sure to drink fluids frequently!. Drink 2-3 cups of water 2 hours before the race; 1 ? to 2 cups 15 minutes before; and 1 cup every 15 minutes during the race!.
If your race will last over 60-90 minutes, drink fluids that contain carbohydrate and sodium!. The carbohydrate will help provide energy during the race; the sodium may 1) help drive you to drink more, 2) taste better, and 3) promote fluid retention!. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends drinks that contain 4-8% carbohydrate in the form of glucose, sucrose, or maltodextrins!. Refer to table 2 for sports drinks information!.
After Exercise
Replenishing your fluid stores is a priority!. The ACSM recommends that you drink a pint (2 cups) of fluid for every pound of body weWww@FoodAQ@Com

You need long-lasting carbohydrates!. You also need fiber, which keeps you going longer!. I suggest you eat a hearty dinner of pasta the night before and the morning of the race, have a comfortable breakfast- perhaps some cereal and a glass of orange juice or a slice of toast!. If you eat too much you'll be unable to run, but if you're hungry you also won't be able to run!. Don't worry so much about what you're eating- just get enough sleep and make sure that you feel comfortable when it's time to start running!. At this point, you probably don't have time to change your diet to accommodate all the vitamins and minerals that would put your body in perfect shape!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
apples are the key to running!. Keep your diet the same and while heavy running you can have extra carbs but fruit in some makes you thirsty so impact them in soothies for meals but the apples!. I ran in Florida and the runners I was with told me in training for they went longer in distance about the apples!. They help you hold your moisture longer so in sense help with hydration!. Fabulous for the body!. Once I did it I had a bottle extra of water just before and one for after but up my apple in take and its the red ones not the tart I noticed a big difference in the heat!. I did not get as thirsty while running!. My sweating was different too!. Hope this helps you!. Good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
