Peanut butter is a great food to fuel up on before a 5K or 10K because of its low GI, high carbohydrate and high protein content.
What to eat before a 5K or 10KStart in a plank position, on your hands and toes. Place your hands directly under your shoulders and make sure your back is straight, with your hips in line with your shoulders. Bring one knee up to your chest, keeping your back straight. Return to plank position and pull the other knee up to your chest.
Do three sets of 12 repetitions per leg. Rest for 30 seconds between sets.
