I have a physical test (7 a.m) with the local corrections facility where I have to run 2.4 km's under 12 minutes, followed by a test where I run up and down, and carry weights which weigh up to 100 lbs. I'm in good shape and can and will pass this exam, but I was wondering what can/should I eat the night before the exam, and on the morning of the exam to get that extra energy? Thanks

I was thinking of having an apple and a "Redbull" energy drink on the morning of the exam.

Better would be some oatmeal about an hour or so before. If you need the redbull stick with it. Night before I'd eat some cottage cheese to get the protein fix, and make sure you eat enough carbs the day before.

oatmeal+omellete would be my breakfast. With a couple bananas.

200-400mg caffeine+25mg ephedrine hcl(optional)+b-complex+magnesium 250-500mg+enteric coated aspirin 81-300mg...should help improve your strength/endurance....
