Ran a 10K this past weekend. At the finish line they had donuts, ice cream bars, cold chocolate milk and other yummy delights. At the Rock n Roll marathon they handed out cold beers at the finish line - at 10am. If I had to eat healthy, what would be the point of running?
Good for you-—my granddaughter doing the London Marathon this Sunday——runners always look terrific IMHO.

That stuff is fine for the end of a race. You do need some carbs to replenish the stores of glucose and glycogen in your muscles. So have that beer, eat that donut, etc. after a race, but don’t make it a regular dietary habit, IMO.
