When do runners eat before running a marathon?
Some good answers, but you need to be careful - rice cakes, granola bars and energy gels tend to be high in simple carbohydrates (sugars). These items tend have a high glycemic index, so if you eat one hour to 15 minutes before you run you may find that your blood sugar level spiking and then dropping while you're running. This will lead to inconsistent energy levels and make the second half of the race seem a lot longer. People generally use the high GI snacks to eat while they are running since the carbs in the blood are used directly by your working muscles and not swept out by the insulin reaction.So, chose low GI snacks high in complex carbs - fresh fruit is near the top of the list, but some people find it can cause indigestion if eaten too close to exercise. Whole grains (brown rice, etc.) can be good, but are pretty inconvenient, so your best bet may be a slice of 100% whole grain bread with A LITTLE peanut butter on it. The bread will have lots of good carbs and the peanut butter will help slow down the release of the carbs into your system. When I ran competitive track I loved to have a matzoh with peanut butter as my pre-run snack. Weird, but it worked for me. Which brings me to my last point...
The real answer to your question is to experiment with different snacks before your training runs to see what works for YOU. Try an orange one day, bread another, an apple or energy bar the next and see how you feel. Soon enough you'll learn what your particular body wants. We are all an experiment of one.

I remember eating lots of lil' healthy snacks, fruit and maybe breads, never right before, and a * load of waterDoes anyone else take hot showers even when its hot?!?!? or is it just me?
definetely bananas, protein bars, graham crackers, crackers with cheese, goldfish-the crackers, granola bars, cold cereal, candy is actually good b/c the sugar gives you energy, bagel, muffin, you get the idea, anything with lots of carbs.Quaker makes an oatmeal bar that is tasty and also has alot of simple carbs and sugars which break down quickly and provide a great amount of energy in a very short amount of time. Also, about 4 hours before a race, a powerbar is usually not a bad idea because it provides electrolytes that your body uses up during the race.
