| What to eat the week of a half-marathon? Posted by chesty I have lots of left over turkey, and I hope to use it. Any ideas on how I can make my left overs work for me? Or some knowledge on what I should be eating ? I felt this was a more appropriate place than the OT.  on 11/22 at 9:30 pmETA; title fixed and apologies further down This post was edited on 11/22 at 9:44 pm Reply • Back to Top |

| Why do you think the food boarders are marathoners. You probably need to find someone that has run several marathons and get some advice. Now if you need a good bourbon, jambalaya recipe or first beer of the day this we can help with. Reply • Back to Top |

| Just eat normal man.... Do Not eat something that will give you the poo hiney! Needing to take a shite while running 13.1 miles and not knowing where the next port o potty is would fricking suck! Also, don't worry about hydrating that much, I did my first two and had to stop and piss twice during the race!  Not sure where you are, but I hope your not running the Stennis race in MS...

| Sure you do. Eat the leftover turkey and eat some good pastas. And not sure about the don't worry about hydrating because that's not correct. But hydration is a constant and should be an everyday thing not drink a gallon of water just before the race. This will ensure cramps and need for urinating. Carry a small bag of almonds or a gel pack or two. Half marathon is quite a run for a lot of people. I did one a decade ago and my wife runs them pretty regular. Tons of runners on here that will help. I'm not one of them. Reply • Back to Top |
| And good luck. My knees and ankles won't allow that anymore and it is one thing I really miss. Reply • Back to Top |

| for me to run it I'd have to look at the restaurants along the route for breakfast, lunch and dinner because that's how long it would take. But I do have many running friends my wife included. One not long ago registered to run a half marathon and when he was almost done just decided to go ahead and make it a full marathon. On a whim. He's getting ready to run a fifty miler.

| I assume he doesn't visit this board often and never noticed the 10,000 post thread of lard butts. Run a marathon? Yeesh. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
