Oatmeal for lunch and then a little more 2-3 hours before the first race is my strat. Oatmeal is known for being a good pre-race food, and add in some fruit and you've got a masterpiece.
Nice :)
Oatmeal with strawberries and blueberries and then a banana closer to the race was always my go to
oatmeal is goat ... i take before morning runs
I used to cramp up almost all the time before practice and races. I was one of the lucky few that was able to eat about anything 3-4 hours before practices/races without throwing up. However, I used to get these really bad cramps in my legs either before, during or after my workouts. I drank a lot of water, so it was a mystery why I got them for a while, but once I started adding more fruit, especially bananas, to my lunch, that changed everything. I figured this out in my training journal because I listed everything in there: what I ran, times, how felt and what I ate, and from that I noticed a pattern...almost every time I had more fruit than usual during lunch I felt much better.
Log everything in your trainers journal, guys!
The worst I did was a bowl of uncooked oats in milk before a half marathon. For hours after the race I was lying down with stomach pains as I was so dehydrated. What a dumb ass.
This is great Nick surprisingly i ran my 5k PB w Chinese food before w multiple throw up Lmaooo
Respect. I can’t even practice after eating Chinese food lmao
@@jordanembry4147 do not recommend my guy😭 it’s a lazy food but thank you

Let's go i have my own video with nick!
The worst I've done is eating almost nothing on race day. I ended up going about 6 hours with no food and only water. My limbs were so weak
Very important question: when are we gonna get rungum in europe?
I eat 1 to 2 hours before, just not somthing sour. And then every 30min to an hour while running usaly fruit or gels with low acid if the race is longer than 2 hours ish
Hi Nick. I am a growing South African RUclipsr in the running space. I would to ask you questions on your show.
Yes you should
I had two slices of Lil Caesar's an hour before my first sub-5 mile! (and then PR'd in the 400 another hour later)
We need Nick to repeat the Pizza, Waffles, Bacon challenge for the channel
Ran a PR in the 800 yesterday with rungum, may be on to something 👀
nice work. how long before the race did you start chewing it
@@boblimo5682 15 minutes about
for morning meets i usually just eat some rice and bread and i dont eat lunch
for afternoon meets i eat lunch like 3 hours before and then i dont eat anything during
honestly dont follow this advice i cramp at EVERY meet
hey, i’m a sophomore in hs, i’m a mile and 2 mile runner going into district, i’m only running 5:04 mile. i’d like to focus the mile and drop it as much as possible... i’ve been dropping off 7-10 seconds each meet off of it. so my question is how should i go about doing that? in the offseason and into XC?
One thing is keep running you can also each day increase your time by a few minutes but really just to get better at running is keep running
oatmeal and honey for breakfast, and I make my own sport gel/mush mashed potatos and honey. Also I have my prerace energy drink diluted in half with water.
Pancake eith peanut butter is best
I’m not gonna lie pizza is my go to before meets
That's interesting. If it works, it works :)
My parents always make my food like ten minutes before track and it pisses me off
Make your own food then ya spoilt shit😅
Awesome video! I also make running videos!
Cracked
Oh nice I’m the first comment! Any advice on a freshman who just started long distance and is gonna run a 400, a 1500 and or 800 in a few days?
400- you don’t have enough time to go out easy. Take it out hard and do your best not to slow down
1500- don’t lose the lead pack of runners. Stay up there and don’t drop
800- I suck at this event. I don’t have any advice here
Edit: spelling
800- you have to be careful in this event, it is a short race, however you do not want to start out blazing fast, and have your second lap 10 secs slower. You get one move so you have to do it wisely, also don’t wait till the last 50 to start kick. Start when there 250 meters left ish.
1500- just don’t forget its a race that unfoldes over almost 4 laps, so be wise. The third lap is most important so speed up on that one
Pick max 2 events or you'll just be dying in the last event.
For the 400, as a distance runner I just sprint the whole thing. However, for runners who actually do the 400 as their event, they go sprinting first 100, striding the next 200, and dead sprint the last 100. For 800, I heard from a friend that she does mile pace for the first 400 and then sprint the rest, but I think Nick Symmonds likes to do a positive 2 second split.) I have also heard from previous years that the strategy for my track team for 800 was fast first 200 meters, slower next 400, and sprinting last 200 meters.) For 1500, I would try staying with the pack for some time and stay with them as long as you can if you're dying or pass them later if they're dying. However, I'm definitely not experienced as Nick Symmonds on these.
@@carolineh9537 i think the 2nd lap is more important... i always like to pick up the pace some to mess with everybody then slow the 3rd lap down to have enough energy to kick as hard as i can on the 4th lap
Only time I've thrown up is with a sucralose sweetened 'energy drink' . AVOID!
Egg or peanut butter sandwich 5 hrs before race.
All of my runs are at 4:00 after school, how far off should I eat from that
Eat at Noon -> nothing too heavy and stay away from dairy, trust me lol I learned that the hard way
12
See what works for you, I guess :)
What did he mean about racing at midnight as a pro?
Some of his races happened at midnight
the best thing is a candy bar
I just did a 100m sprint and I vomit my tribes out
I had gatorade in between a 300 250 200 150m workout..let's just say never again.
