Race Day Fuel: Power-Packed Oatmeal Breakfast

Written by Carleth | Sep 23, 2024 7:13:10 PM

When it comes to hitting “the wall,” I like to play it safe. That’s why I make sure to have a hearty and nutritious breakfast on race day or before a long run, at least two hours before I start.

This breakfast might not suit everyone, but it’s been effective for me.

⚡️Oatmeal: packed with carbohydrates, provides a steady supply of Vitamin B, and is loaded with minerals and antioxidants. I mix it with water, but you can opt for milk or plant-based milk.

⚡️Banana and blueberries: rich in potassium and antioxidants.

⚡️Peanut butter: high in protein.

⚡️Magnesium: aids in muscle recovery.

⚡️Whey protein: for an additional protein boost.

⚡️Chia seeds: help maintain body fluid balance and retain electrolytes.

It is both powerful and delicious!

Happy racing!
