Nutrition Preparation before 10km Run

-


We had one week to prepare for 10km run.
It may not be a long run for some but it's the first time we join this kind of competitive run so we need to prepare ourselves physically and mentally.

As for the nutrition, I read some articles as well as suggestion by our runner friends, we could do carbo loading few days before the d-day.
Instead of just carbo loading, I combine it with protein loading too.

So here's my meal for 5 days prior to the race

Day 1 (Lunch) : 2 scramble egg and cheese, steamed purple sweet potato, beans and carrots
Day 1 (Dinner) : Miso soup and egg toasted bread


Day 2 (lunch) : Aglio olio chicken pasta
Day 3 (lunch) : Bak Kut Teh, youtiao and stir fried kailan
Day 3 (dinner) : Chicken satay with peanut sauce and rice cake
Day 4 (lunch and dinner) : Bak kut teh, youtiao and stir fried kailan

Day 5 (lunch) : braised tofu and tempe, egg omelette, stir fry broccoli and mushroom and brown rice

Day 5 (dinner) : gado - gado
