Carbs

I run about 50 miles a week and have eliminated common allergens from my diet such as wheat, corn, dairy and soy. I eat buckwheat pasta to boost energy for running and was wondering if anyone had any other "Carb" recommendations. In other words, I would love to know what runners are eating for Carbs after eliminating common allergens...Thanks for your thoughts!!

I love to sprout quinoa! I also love sweet potatoes, especially when they are topped with almond butter and a side of steamed greens :) yummm!

fruit is the best source of carbs! it's perfect running fuel. i also do really well if i eat my oatmeal and chia breakfast a few hours before i run. i usually eat breakfast at 5:30, grab a small handful of dates around 8, and head out the door a few minutes afterwards! and honestly, i do really well on beans... go figure!

i guess the more important things is what you shouldn't eat - fats before a run gives me cramps :(

hope this helps!
