What’s the best diet for someone training for a 10k race?

katysru19 asked:

I’m running a 10k race the first weekend of April and am finding myself a bit on the lethargic side. I’ve been drinking plenty of water and am trying to have a balanced diet, but I feel like I should be doing more. Any suggestions on what to eat and not eat?

You can always try energy drinks for pre and post race.. THey help with energy, hydration and muscle repair. Gatorade makes a good line.

Also on your long runs try to use a power gel/gu – they help sustain you while running.

After your runs try to eat protein (peanut butter or eggs) and something with sugar to keep your energy levels up.

Hal Higdon’s website is helpful.

Good luck with your race!!! Keep up the good work.
