Thank you RawK Im running the RNR in San Diego!! I will try the coconut water and dates:) Izhpt Hey there:) what do you eat? I feel like im not eating enough of anything on a daily basis. What do you eat the night before a big run and how much food do you eat everyday? Should I be eating 4-5 banana’s and 2 helpings of salad? I’m not that hungry but I will do it if I need to Please Help!!! Thank you
I have trained for the past two year, but not vegan/raw. Try a book called the thrive diet http://www.brendanbrazier.com/index.html Brendan is an althlete who runs on a plant based diet. His book provides recipes for energy, drink, bars, etc.- many of which have a raw option. Hope this helps!

Hi Mistys, I just ran my first marathon and while I stayed vegetarian, I dropped a little bit of the raw and vegan aspect of my diet, though some days I ODed on kombucha and ran like my ass was on fire, hahaha! You have to do what works for you and sometimes when you’re trying to keep up on such a strict diet, your body is burning through everything so quickly that it starts going after your muscle. Especially if you’re an actually runner, like after the marathon you’re gonna continue running ten or so miles a day, you should be able to stay mainly raw/vegan and only stray a few times. The best advice I was given, by a vegan marathon runner no less, if your body is craving something, eat it, this is not a time for self denial. Of course, he didn’t mean go after a burger if you feel the crave but that you can loosen up your diet a little during the last few months of training and you won’t do too much damage to your body ‘cause everything is gonna be burned up in an instant! Good luck on your race!
