When you have a 5- or 10K (you
get to eat more with a half or full marathon) on your calendar, it's
important to plan out what you're going to eat the morning of the big
day—something that will keep you fueled and also go down easy. While
everyone is different, "We always have good luck with a
high-carbohydrate breakfast such as a small bowl of oatmeal with fruit
or a couple of pieces of toast with peanut butter or cream cheese," says
Andrew Kastor, who also advises eating around 200 to 250 (primarily
carb) calories about 90 minutes before you warm up for your run . And
don't worry about nixing your a.m. caffeine fix on race day. "Coffee is
great for athletic performances," Kastor adds, because it makes you
sharper and may even give you extended energy. Talk about buzz-worthy!
