\u201cReady\u2026 set\u2026 go!!!\u201d Your last supper before running your race is a big bowl of pasta; the next day you prepare with a nutritious breakfast. Maybe you snack on half a banana 20 minutes before the start.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re off to a good start! However, if you want to improve your pace during the race and reach your goal time (or even set a new personal record), you should take diet into consideration in the initial training phase \u2013 not just the morning of the race. Your diet throughout the months of training determines your performance in a race.<\/p>\n
Researchers from Aalborg University in Denmark found that leisure runners finished a marathon faster when they had prepared a professional nutrition strategy for before and during their race. They focused on an increased liquid and energy intake during the competition and were 10:55 minutes faster on average.<\/p>\n
Bottom line:<\/p>\n
Make nutrition a priority when training for a race to up your mileage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
