My advice to you would be "Nothing new on race day" (or the night before.) When you are training, try eating a "carbo load" style meal the night before your long run, so you can see how your body will handle it.I’ve never run a big race - I’m a novice, my good friend is experienced and my trainer on this so to speak - she said, make a reservation where we can eat pasta!
Yeah, if you aren't used to long runs, you might be revisiting dinner during the run.My advice to you would be "Nothing new on race day" (or the night before.) When you are training, try eating a "carbo load" style meal the night before your long run, so you can see how your body will handle it.
I know a lot of people who don't like eating a carb-heavy meal the night before the race, they prefer to eat it for lunch the day before or even two nights before.
Can anyone suggest a carb loading friendly QS in AK? Also, I did not find looking at menus but is there a cart whereI could get a baked potato in AK? TIA
You shouldn't need to carb load to run a half marathon.
If you just eat normal healthy meals in the days before your race your body should be able to store enough glycogen to get you through the race. Just take some Clif Shots or something with you during the race.
