We are just 7 weeks out from the Coway Run! How is your training going?🏃♂️🏃♀️
Today I want to share what I normally eat before my run, because Nutrition plays a huge role in my performance!⚡
So here presenting to you 👉 My favourite Egg Sandwich!🥪
What's in:
2-3 Toasts
- 3 for a 80+ kg guy like me
- Carbs are not necessary evil! Carbohydrate is our body most preferred source of fuel especially for running. Getting in some fast/medium GI before your run will fuels you up to crush every miles better!
3-5 Eggs
- I'll go for 5 but more whites and lesser yellows
- Protein is crucial for muscular endurance and maintaining muscle mass. Egg is super easy to digest and it has one of the best biological value, not forgetting the healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats from the yellows too!
A Few Lettuce
- Ok....Honestly, this is just to make the food look nicer in photo, lol. We all know how important fibre is, but not for now (before your run)! because fibre can be a little harsh to our stomach. Eating too much of fibre before your run will most likely cause stomach bloatness. So limit the amount.
How long before your run you should eat then? This is really depending on the size of the meal and a person's adaptation.
For me, I would eat about 3-5 hours before my run. Yup, the timing gap is important if you want to get rid of stomach upset issue like side stitches.
So there you have it. Give this a try and join me at Coway Run this 7 of October at MAEPS Serdang. 👌
