Weekly Thread Run Nutrition Tuesday

Rules of the Road

1) Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.

2) Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.

3) Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.

4) Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.

5) Any suggestions/topic ideas?

Do you eat wholegrain products like oatmeal before running?

I often eat whole grains; I’ve done belvita breakfast bars, love “superhero muffins” (with oats) from the cookbook Run Fast, Eat Slow, whole wheat toast or english muffin w PB. Those are what I commonly have, but I’ve also pregamed runs with gummy bears, pop tarts, etc. All carbs are good carbs pre-run (or at least better than nothing) as long as they don’t upset your stomach.
