eating before practice

lewdog_55 Posts: 383 Joined: 2002/01/23	2002/11/18, 09:57 PM Today I ate Raisin Bran and took a protein shake about 1 hour before basketball practice. At the end of practice we ran sprints and I puked. Not fun. It wasnt that the sprints were that bad. Ethier I should eat something different or I am just really out of shape?? ---------------------------- "Imagine what you could do,if you could do what you imagine." _______________________________________ R.I.P.

Thus never getting digested. Try having the shake with water b4 sports. Hope this helps. -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it! Ivan

Many marathoners use energy bars/supplements during the race and don't experience problems. Of course, they're not doing sprints either.

Plus, it won't make you barf. I always fuel up with a PB&J sandwich or two before I take my bike out for a ride (usually 20-25 hard miles) and it's the best and cheapest thing I've found. Protein shakes are good, but they always sit in my stomach like a rock. I save those for when I'm done for the day.

Practice is really fun this year and I will keep you posted as to our season. I am a junior this year and hope to start varsity. thanks for all your help as I may not be around all the time anymore. I did lift Triceps and Biceps last night and my arm are so SORE today. And it is because of all the help here. -------------- "Imagine what you could do,if you could do what you imagine." _______________________________________ R.I.P. Dan, We will never forget you

For the first week of practice we do have to run timed 2 miles b4 practice which really takes the energy out of you for practice. And did i mention soreness! I was so sore the first few days i could hardly move!
