It is important to to to to to learn to to to to to eat correctly during a a a a a a a race You need the the energy to to to to be able to to to to perform at the the highest level Try different types of of gels bring them to some of of of your training sessions I I I don’t usually eat gels when I I I train train as they contain a a a a a a a a a a lot of of sugar and and I I believe that my body is fine without it it But they are good during races and and you need to to know which type the the the body likes the the the most During races races of up to six hours I I eat eat only gel When When the races races are longer than that I I usually eat eat something more solid for example a a a a a a a a a a a a bar When When the the the pace is is slower and and and there is is time and and and energy to to to chew and and and the the the the stomach manages to to to take care of the the food food During races over 15 hours I I eat proper food food that I I am used to to like rice pota- toes crisps and pirogues My favourite breakfast before a a a a a a a a longer run is porridge with with fruit honey and and and cinnamon a a a a a a a a a sandwich with with with butter cheese and and and and cucumber and and coffee with with milk!
My favourite lunch after a a a a a a a a a a long run might be be a a a a a a a a a a a a a wheat berry salad and if I am only having a a a a a a a a a a a a a Swedish fika then buns with hot chocolate or coffee are the the best things I know!
Dinners might consist of beets with lentils or or bean beefs and after that banana nice cream if if it’s it’s summer or or chocolate cake if if it’s it’s cold
