Pre-Workout Overnight Oats

Pre-Workout Overnight Oats

---

Overnight oats is a great pre-run breakfast choice.  It’s easy to make, eat and digest.  Plus it provides a ton of carbs: one half-cup gives you about 64 total grams! Of course, every runner is different in terms of fueling and metabolism, but I have found that oats provide an optimal breakfast for runners. Oats, protein, and any mix-ins can provide you with a great balance of energy, but also some fiber. Knowing how your body reacts to different foods will pay off as you prepare for your race day. Enjoy!
