What to eat before walking

Whatever the hell you want because walking isn't that serious and doesn't take a special diet to maintain? :huh:
Like. Put some peanut butter on your banana or throw the banana into some oatmeal, idk. Maybe some flax or whatever people eat these days.
Wait. Walking isn't that serious?
Damnit tell me that now. I've just walked half a marathon before 1:30pm & will have walked double that by the time I get back from the supermarket.
Walking not serious? Since when?
Since always. Just because you walk far doesn't somehow increase the seriousness, I'm afraid.
I walk everywhere (I don't drive) and I can assure you at no stage have I thought to myself "Damn, this is hard. I need a special snack."0 -

Try hiking 60 miles with a 60 pound pack through mountains with no sleep.
Walking little Toto isn't serious.
And a walking a half marathon? My 7 y.o. has walked further than that with me.
A day....I walk a marathon a day, every day. Have done since November. Try doing that daily, with 4 hours sleep a night & then carrying all your grocery shopping as well....daily.
Yeah walking the dog aint serious but damnit to generalize ALL walking as not serious?0 -

You walk 26 miles everyday? Ummm.....okay :flowerforyou:0 -
I eat a banana with a good quality peanut butter with 2 cups of coffee almost eveyrday. I eat at about 7 and then eat lunch around 11:30. The other bonus is it makes it easy to record my breakfast with quick tools. It is important to have some kind of protein before your walk. Your body cannot make protein. Without enough ingested protein your body will get its protein from your muscles. Instead of building muscle when you walk you might might actually lose muscle. Why do think body builders eat all those protein shakes?0

Nor have I. I don't drive, I walk everywhere. Hell I'll walk 17km just for a damn light-globe, 23km for mascara.0 -

Yes. Now carrying groceries is very serious work.
I stopped going to the gym, running and hiking with a pack so I could walk and carry groceries.
It's truly made all the difference.0 -

So you walked 26 miles? How long did that take you?
Depends on my mood, but it can take me about 4 hours if I'm in a great mood. Walking serious enough for you.0 -

You walk 26 miles at least 4x a week? Ummm.....okay :flowerforyou:
7 days a week..... EVERY DAY is 7 days.0 -

How many people actually walk a marathon a day?
Generally, the walking the average person does isn't serious. I'm pretty sure we are all aware that there are exceptions.0 -
I remembered an article I read about homemade 'energy gels. They are vegan, and therefore, I win the internet:
Coffee chia seed energy gel (vegan, gluten-free)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 cup pre-made coffee
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/10 teaspoon salt
Place chia seeds in a bowl. Cover with coffee. Let mixture sit anywhere from an hour to overnight. Place in the refrigerator and lightly cover if making the night before.
Once chia seeds have gelled, add maple syrup and salt. Stir.
Place a small plastic bag in a cup, sides folded over the rim. Pour chia seed mixture into the plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
I also found this recipe, but it requires a blender: http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/diy-endurance-gels/0 -
Did we just witness a threadjacking?

Dammit, I fell for it. Thanks for pointing it out. Thread has been rescued.0 -
If you walk 26 miles/day at an hour/mile then... yes. I'm impressed.
Science & math be damned. I have a new plan...0 -
Opps didn't mean to stir the thread jack pot.0

Wasn't me that did it. I posted 2 times...others started on me.....
Anyway back to OP..... you are walking for 90 mins. You need to drink water, you are not going to drop to the ground & have puppy drag you back home from lack of energy.0 -

Cool, we're both non driving walkers. Grocery store, the navy base, mall, gym, the beach, Walmart...I walk them all. And its not serious. I'm doing it right now, as I head to my class at the gym.0 -

Threadjacking be damned.

I don't think that's the issue. The OP said she was hungry which is a legit complaint when she has only had a banana and coffee almost 3 hours after waking.0 -

Wondered the same thing. Elite race walkers can do a marathon in 3 hrs.
Very fast race walkers in about 4.5.
I'm not convinced.0 -

Yep. I mean, no one has been able to beat Susan Armenta's record for fastest walked marathon for women since about 2003.0 -

I happen to walk with a very serious limp. It never makes amusing anecdotes or quips. It also never laughs at my jokes, THAT's how I know my walking is serious.0 -
