What are the proper foods to eat before running?

Answer

Hydrate constantly for one or two days before the race.

The night before eat carbs.

The day of the race eat fruits (bananas especialy).

One hour before a race eat something light being sure to chew completely to aid digestion.

Finaly after your race eat something high in nutrients. The first 30 minutes after a race are key.

I know it sounds weird but bananas have a very high amount of energy and you are meant to eat them before running!
