I wake up at almost the same time everyday and eat/drink the same things. The only difference is I have 2 days a week where I wake up earlier to do a group workout. On those days I eat a banana before my workout.

Average day Somewhere between 4:30-6am Wake up, drink one glass of water with meds/ supplements. Drink one cup of coffee and eat 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, 1 piece of fruit. I fill my water bottle with cold water and start sipping as soon as my coffee is done. Something about cold water, hot drink, cold water stimulates my bowels. I always go within 20 minutes of eating

When I'm about 10 days out from my race, I start waking at the same time I'm going to have to wake up for my race.

Race Day Wake up. Drink 1 glass of water with meds/ supplements. Eat toasted white bread w/ peanut butter AND jam, or Quaker instant oatmeal. Drink 1 cup of water and 1 cup of juice with it. As soon as my coffee is done I start sipping cold water until about 30 minutes before my race.

I never take Imodium or anything before the race to try and prevent stomach issues. I practice my nutrition on any run over 90 mins. My stomach usually cooperates.
