You wake up starving and just want to get breakfast in! Now, this might seem like an obvious one, but the worst thing you can do is stuff your face full with heavy food just before heading out for a run. It can be surprising how “hungry” you can feel and still go out for a run and feel good once you’re out there. Ideally, try to plan your day so that your eating and runs are at least 1 hour to 90mins apart. And if you have to eat within this time then make sure it is something light like a cereal bar or energy bar.
Even though there are lot of fizzy energy drinks out there, they’re not always the best thing to go for just before a run. The carbonation of fizzy drinks it can make you feel really uncomfortable on a run. So, fizzy drinks tend to sit in your stomach longer than still ones and aren’t ingested as quickly. This causes more sloshing around and actually they end up hydrating you less. And on top of that, fizzy drinks can also prevent you from ingesting nutrients from food already in your stomach. So stick to still drinks and don’t drink less than 10 to 15 minutes before a run.
Caffeine can be great for sports performance, especially in endurance sports. But the timing of its consumption can be crucial when wanting to avoid mid-run embarrassment! I know this might sound a bit crude but it’s something you should genuinely think about before runs. So, if you have had a quick perk-you-up caffeinated delight, make sure you give yourself at least half an hour or one trip to the toilet before you head out!

Share your worst running mistakes with us in the comments below 👇
big meal before training and lack of recovery from sleeping, especially when you do morning session but lay down very late
Eating some kind of foods that your digestive system has trouble with (like beans for example, if you know what I mean)
Intense swim sessions before runs. Or is that a good thing?
Hi GTN
I would like to do a triathlon but I’m 13 and disabled and can’t ride a two wheel bike do you have any advice
Forgetting to stretch before a long run... WORST MISTAKE EVER :(
Haha, "do not consider going for a bike ride before going for a run" :D. Made my day!
Mark wasn't letting Lawrence get away with that one!
No consumption of dairy products 2hrs before a run. I have some bad memories about it. Best pre run snack - Banana bread with peanut butter. Works wonders!
I don't think we need anymore information...! Sounds like a great snack though, might have to try that one out.
I would add putting on after shave / hair gel because it will burn the eyes when you start to sweat.
Ouch! We'll pass this one on to GCN's Dan Lloyd...
I love how motivating and accessible these videos are
Thank you so much! Your channel is amazing! Keep up the good work!
So glad you enjoy what we do!
Lawrence! Nice seeing you here bro! All the best
💯 new runner here taking in quarantine running with my partner. As a basketball player I have experience with making some mistakes before practices and games which have helped me with running. HOWEVER, way more to consider before running. Won’t make those mistakes again. 😅
Died when you guys drank at the end xD
Nice, witty funny and helpful. Thanks for this.
Thanks for the tips! On another note, I stayed at the same place you are, beautiful place with some great history.😃
Don't eat high fibre foods before your runs or you will feel like you are getting the runs!!!
We've all made this mistake over the years!
Really nice Tips , also had to laugh multiple times! Thanks Guys ! I'm Improving more and more through your awesome videos.
Thanks David! Glad you are enjoying the videos, and good job on improving. Have you got any goals for this year?
Yeah, I do indeed. I want to do my first Olympic distance. =)
Good job ! Ty
Woof, started running with my seasoned runner s.o. i am guilty of all the above. Especially running cold. I have been working more at warming up tho. Only eating a light something to takile the edge off in tbe morning. Working on bettering my form bc i get shinsplints a lot.
You guys are funny love it 😅
In college we used to give blood and then go for a short run. It required a lot less beer afterwards. ;-)
I haven’t done a tri yet but in cycling as well most of these apply, I have thrown up in one of my first races due to eating, love your guys segment on breakfast or fasting, but after that throw up I have been a faster, and that caffeine bit is no joke, here on big island Hawaii last thing you want is to be racing in the kona heat with 5k in to a race and now you got bubble guts....
You're right there, most of these tips apply across more sports than just running!
Always check your gps has enough battery power for the run!
Very sensible... we all have that friend who says 'If it's not on Strava it didn't happen'
Make sure you stretch for 10 mins before and after a run or you risk getting injured. Many people forget stretching ankles which are complicated joints that need warming up by rotating clockwise and anti-clockwise for 1 minute. Putting on deodorant is advisable and cleaning teeth (I don't know what advantage this gives but I feel better with a fresh mouth?!). Thanks.
Once came back from the club at 2am and woke up to run at 5am with alcohol in my belly - it was the longest run ever😂
But good information 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
#gtn hi guys
I want to do a triathlon but I am 13 and disabled and I can’t ride a bike do you have any advice
Pre run dump is a must
thanks GTN
I m from India , I like your videos
Thanks Deepak 👍
I regretted having 3 cafe lattes before a triathlon..
adrian betti we’ve all been there Adrian. I remember my introduction to caffeine gels 😬
Pros: don't be on your phone.
Us: *casually look away*
I mistakenly drank Red Bull and tea before the SF Bay to Breakers once. I was using the stalls like mad!
I once drank orange juice about an hour before running, as you may guess resulting was regrettable. In my defense this happened as a teenager.
When it comes to eating and running, what do you guys do to train your stomach to take in food on the course?
Check out Mark's pro hacks video to see what Andy Potts does... gtn.io/TrainingHacks
Had my first half marathon last October - had a family gathering the night before - couldn't resist a curry and a pint - unfortunately I couldn't get it out of me the morning before the race - didn't make it any better by having a coffee just before the run either - ended up having to make a toilet stop for a #1 after 3 miles and thought i'd hold out for the number #2. My body had other ideas and after not seeing a portaloo for miles there was one at the mile 12 marker and I just had to get it out of me! Moral of the story don't have a curry and beer the night before!
You'll only make that mistake once!
also, would you guys ever do a beer mile? That would be cool to watch you guys attempt one haha
I'm definitely up for that!
Count Mark in too!
Hello, could you do a video on how to AVOID losing weight when taking up running? The world is obsessed with being thin and I can't find a video anywhere for those of us who.. Shock horror..... Want to do excersize but aren't motivated by losing weight (controversial, I know). I realise it's a bit niche but you'll be the only vid on Internet covering this so might get a niche audience. Many thanks
we have a race here thats 7 laps of a 4 mile loop with a lot of elevation and between each lap you have to drink a "fizzy drink" or soda. man it really wants to come out the first 5 minutes after drinking
I drink half cup of black coffee, toast with honey and peanut butter... (Almost forgot a toilet stop) about 1 hr before a run.
I once did a very hilly 5k whilst hungover. Not my best idea...
Coffee and a dump first thing and I’m ready to run 👌🏻
You clearly never ran the Bierathlon! 3litres of beer and 7km :) www.bierathlon.ch/cms/index.php It gets messy!
Mr Beckett I think I need to redo my bucket list race video!!
Mark Threlfall you have to do it in pairs. I can do it with you but past experience says I'm not so hot at the drinking part!
Always have a Jelly Baby just before I run 🏃♂️ And one very 5k on longer runs
Good choice!
I cannot drink even in the night before!
Running is a great hangover cure, though!
Same. If i drink coke i can the result in my training.
should i take creatine before running?
My worst story is that I ate sushi immediately before a run. That is 5 miles I will never forget. That said, eating before your run can really boost your tolerance for stomaching gels on race day, there are just certain things you avoid (like sushi lol)
Sushi definitely sounds like a dangerous option! You share the same opinion as Andy Potts in terms of tolerance for race day, check this out - gtn.io/TrainingHacks
what if I have red bull before my rrun
I mistakenly drank Red Bull and tea before the SF Bay to Breakers once. I was using the stalls like mad!
Hehe, done all of them except for the e-mail one :-) One occasion with cereal and ~0.7 dl of milk was exceptionally discomforting :-D
We knew we wouldn't be the only ones to make these mistakes! That's a lot of breakfast to get out running on.
Even worse, it was after work around 4pm :-D
Make sure you visit the toilet before going out for longer runs. You have no idea the number of times I found myself far away from my home on some trail runs (sometimes with other people) and thought to myself I wish there was a toilet nearby.
do u guys run sessions in bath?
Afraid not - maybe one day 🤔
Recently found out that the best way to keep a hangover at bay was to go out for a run the morning after! Not too sure that'll last past my student days though! 😂
No one at the GTN HQ has ever needed to test this one out...! How did the run feel?
Global Triathlon Network Long...verrry long!
:) i just went biking 22km an running 4km
Damn it. Well, two days ago, I swam, then ran, then played 9holes of golf while drinking 3 beers. Then that evening did an 20min threshold test on the bike trainer. Oops
No chowing down a bag of Cheetos as pre-run fuel source! Got sick not even 10% through the run =(
No surprising, there are definitely better pre-run options that Cheetos, even if they are tasty!
Having a cold
also try to avoid sleep deprivation.
I do 2 of those things before every morning training session, Drink a can of sugarfree mother (Fizzy and 159mg of caffeine) I can think of it ever being an issue
Sounds like you're lucky if you can tolerate that before morning training. Are you able to train without the caffeine or is it a must before morning training?
Not necessary, but a good preference, and probably a good placebo effect for speed work, whether it makes a difference or not is a completely different question
Things to do before a run: prd. You'll regret it if you forget it.
😂
How about smoking?
Did that guy lose a bet?
Thanks guys, bit late to the party, oh well... This is mainly common sense though 😊 I would say as a casual runner, I do actually perform better running having a pint of lagar (just 1) the night before - it actually improves my performance, who knew.
Don't eat watermelon before going out for a run. Just don't.
Eating Camembert sandwich before a hard sport session (was not running but swimming), horrible experience. Sorry but not the best video you’ve made (neither funny or useful)... but keep going on the channel
Sex? 🤔
During ! Quadrathlon 👌🏻
