This one has been a long time coming. I am not a Dr. I am not a RD (that's registered dietitian). I am close to being a USAT Certified coach. But, we have received several questions about race day fueling and nutrition in general. So, I thought that I would start a series of Food vs. Fueling posts that I will post here as well as cross post to Team-Marsh.com once it is up...which should be by the end of the week.
Generally, we break our eating down into 2 pretty distinct phases: Eating during a workout and just regular eating. When you train 2 (maybe 3) times a day on most days, it is difficult to separate the two. But, I will give you my best approximation of what we have found to work and what should work for a lot of folks out there. Because I cannot really prescribe what to do, you will have to find out what works best for you. I will post some of the sites that I have used to form these opinions as well.
In general, I think that we have been mislead on several fronts in regards to general nutrition as well as fueling for workouts whether it be before, during, or after. In short, we try to keep it simple with the bulk of our nutrition coming from real foods...those that aren't in packages. More later.
