I run several Half’s every year. It seems like finding the perfect pre-race breakfast is always a challenge. Don’t want to overload...don’t want to skimp.
So, what’s YOUR perfect Pre-Half Race foods?

Protein enriched cereal for me.
Weetabix chocolate protein crunch is my favourite, and then a salted caramel GU or 2 while racing.1 -
I make 1/2 cup of oatmeal with 1 cup of soy milk and add a tiny bit of honey and dried pineapple. I aim to eat it 1.5-2 hours before my run.0

50gr oats and an apple/banana0

wheat tortilla burrito with scrambled eggs, everything bagel seasoning (trader joes) and avocado inside.0

PB&J on toast with a small cup of coffee a couple of hours before the race. And then a couple of Clif Shot Bloks during the race.0

Banana with peanut butter.0

English muffin with peanut butter, sliced banana or apple, and about 1/4 cup raisins, a big glass of water. I eat about 1.5 hrs before leaving home for the race. Something about adding the raisins made me feel like i had more fuel for later.0

Oatmeal & bagel with jam!! I usually eat right when I wake up before I get ready. Then I have 3 cliff energy chews right at start of race and 3 in the middle about mile 5-6. Great post, nice to see what others eat before a half, sometime I wonder if I am doing it right, but it seems to work.0

After a lot of experimentation, I've found that two Honey Stinger waffles is just about perfect.0

Peanut butter and honey on white bread, banana, coffee, and water. Drink, drink, drink until about an hour and half before the gun.0

Bagel with peanut butter, breakfast cookie ( https://minimalistbaker.com/vegan-everything-breakfast-cookies/ ).0

A banana and a small bowl (~100 grams) of yogurt with a sprinkle of granola. The sugar in the banana and granola give me energy and the yogurt gives it staying power.0
