SAFD:
Fueling, runDisney focus. Pre-race meal is usually a tortilla with some peanut butter and water with Liquid-IV. Race fueling is a bit tricky for me as things either leave me with dry mouth or a queasy stomach so no gels or waffle things. Many years ago I started using Pure Organic fruit bars (get them at Costco) they are small and easy to eat and digest for me. Generally I eat one while in the corral/walk up and then I eat one about every 2-3 miles depending on race distance. They taste good and offer 60 calories/15 grams of carbs each. I do have to stay on schedule, but when I do it works out perfectly for me. Post race means choc milk! Well, choc almond milk. It is a good source of protein and calories post race, and I love it. The trick is for the half marathon or marathon bring it in a soda bottle that you freeze over night and then wrap in a towel and put in the gear bag. Post race is it mostly melted, super cold and wonderful!
