Hey I need opinions 5k tommorw

[lori ann]

I am running my first 5k of the year tommorw am in Cleveland, Ohio. Usually I do give much thought to what to eat or drink before and after the race, but I was thinking about drinking a green smoothie before the race -good idea? or any recomendations?? thanks!! Lori

have you trained with a green smoothie prior to running? I personally love them before running, but if they have the wrong effect on your digestive system, you can find yourself having a whole new reason to run fast! Course, a 5K isn't that far, so your suffering will be limited. I'd say time it at least 30 minutes before the race so you can do some initial digesting before running.

Have a great race!!!

hey thanks for your answers and encouragement. The race went well and I went with the green smoothie and did just fine. I have been training with them and drink one daily so I thought I would be ok, but it is nice to have re-ensurance.
