What To Eat The Day Before A Big Race?


On our travels for the North American Race in Willimantic, CT, we had the opportunity to stop in for lunch with the OneMileRunner.com Nutrition Consultant, Marc O'Meara. We had a great luncheon meal the day before the big race with his family out in his yard on a beautiful July afternoon. Here is a colorful picture of Marc's nutritious spread:


Menu - Grilled Seasoned Tofu
Grilled Marinated Summer Vegetables
Whole Grain Bread
Quinoa and Vegetable Salad
Watermelon and Strawberries
Water

It was a wonderful way to fuel our bodies for the mile race on the 4th. You can read more about Marc's ideas about nutrition at www.EatBalancedNutrition.com or watch the video below as we discussed after the race about what to eat the day before a big race:
