I think it's really important to just experiment and find out what works for you.
I'm still trying to figure out what to eat before I go for a run. What I eat for a bike ride or a triathlon just doesn't work for a run.

This is probably the BEST thread I have ever read on TE. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to submit information. I have found it very hard to lose weight, too, but definitely have to eat on the ride. I also had a long ride in the first really good weather of the season. I have ridden a fair number of miles through the beginning of this season but nearly bonked with 45 miles on Saturday. I ate one bar..120 calories, and one bag of sport beans...100 or so, and one 22 oz. powerade, plus water. It was definitely not enough. I always have a chocolate mile right after the ride. It is hard for me to eat on the fly (the mechanics of it, not the eating!), but I do realize the importance of eating to keep going!
Anyway, it has been great to see all the other ideas that you wonderful women have given. THANK YOU ALL!Last edited by AnnieBikes; 03-10-2009 at 06:25 PM.
