Nutrition

.As Janine said, you can’t take up running and keep eating all those cookies and  ice cream and expect to lose the weight—although it took us several months to realize the scale was going up and not down.  We are currently working on developing some great nutritional tips for you all to help in your training and everyday life.  Don’t worry those tips won’t come from us.  Just, look out soon for some great information coming from our Three Sisters (check out the Advisory Board).

Favorite Pre-Race Foods

Day Prior: Pizza - Great excuse to carb load and eat   We hit Uno’s Pizza or Wolf Gang Puck before the Disney Races!

One-Two Hours Prior: Jill likes to have a Clif Bar (Chocolate Chip - but there are lots of flavors) and some water.  While Janine will usually have a protein shake or a granola bar (Quaker chewy peanut butter chocolate chip) or a banana.

During the Race: On the longer runs, we carry Jelly Belly energy beans (all the flavors are good, but our favorite is the fruit punch) and Clif Shots –the Chocolate and the Mint Chocolate seem to have a good flavor.  Obviously, you can tell we tend to lean towards the Chocolate flavored items - this is especially helpful when we are running during our period!

Post Race: Water of course and some of the post race snacks (bananas, protein bars, bagel).  But then we head to Starbucks for a Latte - Venti, of course, we have earned it! 

Evening After the Race: After the bigger races, a celebratory glass of wine is always a nice treat.
