Hi Everyone,
I am training for my 3rd race and I am not familiar with energy drinks, bars or gels at all. I was thinking I should probably get into something just before race day, with hopes of preforming a little better.
So, for all you marathon runners or HM runners, what do you eat or drink on race day to help you perform at your best? I think for my first race I performed very well, only b/c I was excited! I know sleeping and eating right are very important but I have noticed in the past that most runners have little belts arund their waist with little packets attached...assuming this is energy gels. Just need some help in a recommandation.
Thanks!
Lori
