the conclusion that this is caused by simply not having enough fuel in the tank.I'm wondering if people have any tried and tested pre-run snacks they could suggest I try....Thanks! Not really tried and tested, as I usually run first thing in the morning

it would be a good place to post recipe ideas - like a good pre/post run snack or just a favourite meal what do you other forumites think??

?many thanksIan What's your pre-WO nutrition like? Well last night i had fish, chips & peas an hour before run. (cheese sarnie at lunchtime, bran flakes & yoghurt for breakfast) Maybe you need more sugar?  Why not try taking lucozade with you or some sweets too

. This was pretty bland, but palatable. The cake that LL talks about was brilliant. Taste wise it was great, it did not sit at all heavily, it was all i ate on the morning and i do not feel i needed anymore pre race nutrition.The drink "to sip every 10 minites

. Nutrition Mark. that and you may need to slow the paceWhat are you taking on board during these runs? You shouldn't "hit the wall" in a half marathon, and certainly not at the 10 miles mark.Is it dehydration - have you been running in hot weather

stone and b) do some more races and get my pre race nutrition right.I've got my training log ready (sat next to the glass of wine and chocolate......it IS new years eve!!!)what's your new years fitness resolution?  Congratulations on this years mileage

can anyone help me by letting me know ideal foods for a beginner.at the moment i am alternating the below meals:-PRE WALK/RUN -- water and a bananaBREAKFAST --- porridge & honey, weetabix & albran , wholemeal pancakes & syrup , muiseli, toast

I bought a bag of these out of boredom and slight curiosity. I find myself eating about 5 a day, they are quite addictive. They  have replaced dried apricots as my pre-run snack. Do they have any nutritional value?Also, for anyone else who might

I'm doing a bit of research into what athletes eat during a gameor race, or pre or post event - but not the science-based, nutritionally sound stuff, I am looking for the quirky or funny things athletes have eaten before during or after they perform

I am due to do my first half marathon in three weeks - training going well but wondered how on earth people fit in the long runs to train for a whole marathon??And when did you seriously start for this marathon?DO you also take the nutrition side
