Hi all,
So tomorrow I am running a half-marathon. This will be my third, and I'm not too concerned about the running part. Granted, I didn't train quite as much as I would have liked to due to IBS issues, but I've done enough so that I hopefully won't collapse  However, my question is what should I eat the night before? I know I should have carbs, so I was thinking of pasta with some sort of protein. I just want to make sure it is safe enough so I don't have any IBS difficulties during the race (13 miles is quite a long way!). It's also frustrating because I won't be able to eat in the morning before the race (I can never eat before I run because I get crazy side-stitches) so I want to have a solid meal the night before, but overeating is a huge trigger for me. So do any athletes/runners/people who exercise out there have any advice at all?  Thanks, all comments would truly be appreciated!
