A cake batter ice cream cone fueled me through one of the best runs that I've had on months. 10 miles @ 7:35 pace. Plan was to just do 7-8, but I was feeling good and running smoothly on the hills, so I decided to make it an even 10. To top it off, this put my weekly mileage above 30 for the first time since Disney - finally getting my groove back!

    Nice way to finish the week, Peter! It's always a nice feeling when it's so enjoyable that you decide to run more than you had originally planned.

    Love cake batter ice cream. I'm a strong believer that real foods with a good dose of sugar (ice cream, cookies, etc.) are far superior to Gu and stuff like that for running fuel.

    Kristen - I tend to agree about the real foods being better, and ice cream tastes a heckuva lot better than GU!
    Lashonda - went to a local ice cream shop with my wife and kids, and they dropped me off on the way home so I could run. So, maybe about 15 minutes beforehand?

    Did you cramp at all?

  • Peter L.

    No, I generally don't have cramping issues related to eating before a run. However, I know some people who need to eat well before they run or it causes problems. Guess I'm lucky in that!

    I love that kind of fuel! I ran my best mile after eating a bowl of caramel corn before heading out the door!
