A member asked:

Can you tell me if i am doing a half marathon at 10am what should i eat on race day and at what time. what foods should i avoid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What works for you.: As a runner, I could not eat before a race no earlier than 2 hours before race time. Eating pasta the night before can be helpful. I don't know if there is any evidence based studies that can support all the theories out there on what to eat or not. I would eat a good breakfast no later than 8 AM. I would eat oatmeal and a big pasta dinner the night before.
