While talking with a co-worker over lunch earlier this week about running & training for a half marathon (she is also doing the same Diva Half I'm doing in 2 months), she asked me "Did you change your diet while training?"
I tend to already think of myself as a healthy eater, so I had to really think about if I did do anything different, and I can honestly say I didn't. I just made sure I didn't eat anything too heavy the night before running. I know most runners have little pre-racing rituals and one of mine is before every long run, I eat peanut butter and toast. I even packed my own bread and peanut butter to my trip to Disney!
I 've attached some articles that talks about eating healthy for running, but honestly, it's really about just eating smart and knowing your body. Some people can't eat anything before running while others can eat a normal breakfast. It's all just finding what works for you!
