We asked five New York Marathon runners what they eat before, during, and after the race. Spoiler alert: lots of bagels.
If you've ever run a marathon—like the New York City Marathon, happening this year on Sunday, November 5—then you know that eating well is a crucial part of preparing and properly fueling your body to run those grueling 26.2 miles. More specifically, eating carbohydrates: Many distance runners load up on carbs prior to the big race.
What's a typical day of eating like in the week leading up to the marathon? Without extra carbs, you'll certainly hit “the wall” around mile 20 to 22. For three to four days leading up to the race, I look for carbs in all my meals. In New York, that looks like bagels, pizza, burrito bowls, and Chinese takeout. Sadly, I don't take in as much dairy because I don't want any...unpredictable bowel movements.
