Friday Winner

The winner of my 1000th post [Q&A] giveaway is:


I'll get in tocuh with Linz next week to send her a prize. In the mean time, she is getting married this weekend so please join me in sending her some best wishes!

Thanks again for all of your questions - I'll start bombarding you with answers next week. :)

For now, I'll start with Linz's question: "What's your typical pre-race breakfast?"

Before every long run & race, I eat a toasted PJ&J bagel. On the day of a marathon, I'll usually eat a Clif bar as well - about an hour before the start.

What do YOU eat before a race?

Have a great weekend!

Congrats to Linz! I usually have some coffee and toast with honey. If it is a 20miler or more or some hard race I'll have a Gu gel 15mins before the start as well. Enjoy your weekend!

I usually get up an hour before I want to run and have a cup of coffee (I don't think I would safely make it out the door w/out it!). Probably 30 min before I run, I eat an English muffin with PB and maybe a bowl of cereal.

Have a great weekend! Hope the heat breaks for you guys.

I was eating a bagel and PB with a cup of coffee before long runs and races, but after tummy issues at my marathon in May I started experimenting with other things. Oatmeal and a banana got me through 30K last weekend!

I generally only have a glass of water and a banana. But when I was doing the really long runs I added a piece of bread and honey.

I like to eat a banana with almond butter before a race!

Jess said...

Coffee and 2 granola bars. Can't start a day, much less a day with a race, without coffee!
