Comments on: 5 Foods That Have Come Back to Haunt Me During Workouts http://www.mediocreathlete.com/food/x-foods-that-have-come-back-to-haunt-me-during-workouts Never first, but (almost) never last.

In the span of a week, we were in Leavenworth, Portland, and Denver. When I got home from the latest trip, I knew I had to kick things into high gear to get back on track with my workouts and to pick up where Operation De-Chunkify left off. Teresa must have felt the same way, because she scheduled me almost 14 hours’ worth of workouts. *shakes fist* The week’s not even over yet, and my quads feel like a shredded beef burrito with less delicioso and more pain-o (yes, I minored in Spanish). On Tuesday I ran 5 miles at our track workout, busting out stupid 400s and unsuccessfully stifling nasty fish burps (another food that’s come back to haunt me).

E-gads, that doesn't sound good. I've drank them leading up to a race but not during a race. Laxative? E-gads, that doesn’t sound good. I’ve drank them leading up to a race but not during a race.

One thing the representative said was that it has some type of laxative included. Could be the reason you feel so torn in the stomach. I tried it, but it actually makes me feel more thirsty in the back of the throat. To each his/her own I suppose.

My track nemesis is the most excellent antipasta plate at the best little Italian bistro in Victoria: Ottavio's. All that cheese and meat (and one glass of wine) I had at lunch one time formed a heavy ball in my stomach that lasted through a track workout in the evening. I lasted the entire workout luckily without gastric mishap, but still. Never. Again. I've found my ideal pre-track meal is Vietnamese Pho - all those rice noodles with a bit of tofu or even meat in lots of broth makes me - well - relatively fast with no ill effects. Nice list.

Got up at 6:30 am, chugged a coffee, ate a banana, and slammed my fastest 5k time to date. Yeah, now I'm thinking had I simply NOT stopped drinking tequila and run drunk, perhaps I'd have broken some world record or something...
