EATING BEFORE RUNNING CLASS 

When to eat:

·        Make sure that you eat something light to eat 60-90 minutes before class.

·        Avoid having dinner before an evening class.

·        Have a good mix of carbohydrates and protein.

·        A protein shake may make your stomach “sloshy”.

·        If you are a regular coffee drinker, feel free to have coffee early enough before morning classes.  Allow your body enough time to digest.

·        Don’t try any new foods before a run or race.

o   Toast or English muffin with peanut butter
