What does one eat before a marathon?

November 11, 2010

I’ve never run a full marathon so am not sure what one needs to eat before such a grueling race, and was intrigued by this photo gallery on Trendhunter of the breakfasts of five people who’d run the NYC Marathon. The mounds and mounds of food on each tray is astounding, not to mention the kinds of foods eaten. Am wondering if these five runners’ breakfasts are the exception and not the rule.

    Looks like good energy food but I suspect that if I tried to run with that much food in my stomach, I’d puke. Then again, untrained me would likely barf if I attempted to run a marathon regardless.

    But it looks like good post-marathon food!
