<h2><u>Race day nutrition:</u></h2>
<p>The big day is here. Breakfast provides the final opportunity to top up fuel stores ahead of the race.</p>
<p>The most important thing is to stick to your plan here, selecting a breakfast you have eaten before and are comfortable with. If you are travelling for the race, remember to plan ahead and choose an option that will be available in the hotel – or take it with you.</p>
<p>Often the biggest mistakes are trying to eat too much the day before and feeling uncomfortable on the morning of the race. Remember, your increased carbohydrate intake over the last few days will have been stored as fuel, so you will be ready to race.</p>
<p>Post-race, the priority is to refuel. A drink is a great option to provide some carbohydrate, water and protein, which will kick-start the repair process. This is then followed up with the meals, which can also be a treat to share with friends and family who have supported you.</p>

<p>While these are both great options, remember to choose a breakfast that you have tried before a race in the past and works well for you.</p>
<h3>Snack during the race</h3>
<p>Water and easily digested carbohydrates from sports drinks, gels or jellied sweets are best – aim for something each hour.</p>
