I'll keep this post short and sweet, but since this week's chapter theory is on nutrition, let's take a look at what are some good pre and post run snacks and drinks!
What we eat plays a big role in our daily performance. Whether that performance is in the classroom, at work, or in our physical education class, food is important. It is the energy that allows us to sustain ourselves over a specific amount of time. It is important before running or exercising that we feel just right: not too full but not on empty! As we are all different, you will have to figure out what works for you.
What to eat/drink before you run:
- Drink water! Better yet, sip on it regularly, but not so much that you will be running to the bathroom.
- Eat low fiber fruits or snacks. No one wants the runs while running.
- Foods that are higher in carbohydrates such as sandwich or 1/2 bagel with peanut butter will keep you energized if you eat it a few hours before running.
- Avoid caffeine as it can cause stomach issues.
- Avoid high fat foods as they do not digest very quickly and your stomach will feel very full.
What to eat/drink after you run:
- Water
- Piece of fruit.
- Chocolate milk (although high in sugar) has a lot of good carbohydrates and protein.
- Muffin
- Yogurt
- Nuts (if you're not allergic)

Hands down milk.. strawberry milk.. has a lot of calories which is what I need since I burned a lot of them. If not, juice, fruits, or just some cold water and chocolate type of snack..
