Pasta is good for energy ... when we were in the Army our drill sergeants use to give us aspirin too right before a big run ... it thins your blood just a little ... making it easier to flow ... I found it helps with that crazy pounding feeling you get after you run for a long time too ... just drink water with it ... good luck ... !

first, have a 6' o clock diet- meaning you should try not to eat after 6 pm\nand eat light food and not wait for the main meal if you feel a little hungry eat crackers or fruits so you wont eat much during the three main meal time :)

eat healthy. stretch REALLY good. drink a lot of water or gatorade. pace yourself, but sprint the last lap...also, keep a consisten breathing pattern: in through your nose, out through your mouth. last, do your best. Good luck!

Normal transit time through the stomach ranges from 1 to 4 hours.  Transit time is faster for meals very low in fat and can be significantly less than an hour.  Hot tea with a meal can also speed up the transit time - getting your stomach to empty quicker.  I actually try to work out before eating - but find that dinner at 8pm doesn't really work so well if you want to be part of a family meal.\n\nSo - dinner with high fat - take more time before your run\nlow fat - 30 min to an hour depending on your makeup.\n\nTweak the whole thing with hot liquid at the start of your meal.  Best wishes -

run distance.  I know it isn't fun, but it works.  Don't stop to walk, that is like giving up.  Work up to a few miles twice or three times a week.  Run for an hour straight.  That is the only thing that has worked for many people i know.  After you get into the routine, it's not that bad.  You should be able to eat anything you want as long as you keep the routine up.

If you have something dry like breads, 30 minutes is good, but I tend to have the most energy and least stomach issues if I wait an hour for doing anything where I am bouncing around like on a tredmill.  Remember that you should eat something light like a granola bar while you work out if you work out over 1 hour to keep energy levels up.

run. get to the point where you are running at least 40 minutes and preferably over an hour. do that at least 4 days a week. eat better. eat less. start lifting weights in addtion to running. your body will change, it will have no choice...

5K is not a long distance, so you dont have to worry about carbo loading like you would for a marathon or half.\n\nJust eat a high carb meal the night before, like rice or pasta, and drink lots of water.\nAbout 2 hours before the race, eat something high in carbs, like oatmeal or an energy bar.

bananas are great, cause they're full of potassium, which breaks down the lactic acid in your body, and thus stops your muscles aching after having run. \nabout 4 days before running (if it's long-distance) i carbo-load (i.e. bread, rice, pasta) giving me a good source of complex carbs to slowly give me energy as i run.\njust before running i eat chocolate to give me a quick burst of energy and to accentuate the performance of adrenaline.

I have a cup of coffee and a light meal high in carbs before i go.  If I am feeling not so hot i opt for a propel water versus just plain water while i am working out.\n\ni also bring a granola bar or some almonds/mixed nuts with me to snack on after my workout, as it seems i'm pretty hungry after going hard for a few hours...

Well am a swimmer and have swam since i was little. I was always told to eat bananas, bagles, pasta, etc. All of those are good and help with your swimming. I knwo this isnt healthy but my coach always had me eat a choclate bar about 30 min before a race to give me energy, it helped alot!  Good Luck , oh by the way i would suggest not drinking pop the week before a swim meet or the day of one

Start to carbo load for 3-4 days before the race.  Lots of pasta and rice.\n\nOnce the morning a mixture of slow and fast burning sugars, keep away from excessive fat.  Start with cereal and then a couple of bananas.\n\nDrink loads of water - dehydration can impair your performance by up to 20%.

1.What foods should i eat before and after workout?  \n\nYou should eat your work out food pre workout, anywhere from 30-45 minutes ahead of time, so that your body has fuel to work out on.\n\n2.When should i drink my protein shakes?  Protein shakes can be drank anytime.  I have them for my breakfast, also for snack times.\n\n3.How long should i spend for my workout?  A good workout should last at least 20-30 minutes for optimum results.\n\n4.I want to take eggs as my primary source of protein.So, which one is better?Eat raw eggs?Boil the eggs?Fried the eggs?\n\nBoiled or poached is better than fried, and raw can be dangerous.
