TESTING PRE and POST TRAINING FOOD
I think it is always important to have more than one option to not get bored and also to investigate if there are new food which work better In this case i made a milk based mochi using potato starch, (little bit different from usual japanese mochi made with sweet glutinous rice flour) could be a good pre race meal, considering the slow release of starch in ultramarathons for example provide energy over a longer period of time. Or can be a great source of carbs to be combined during cycling or ironman races. And more important they prevent a spike in glucose and insulin. Of course may be just as good as carbs at replenishing glycogen in the muscles after exercise with a smoother delivery. Maybe better?! To add some additional proteins a part the milk you can try it with red beans sauce (Oshikuro) or just use your imagination and try it with fresh cheese, greek yogurt, peanuts butter or lean proteins.
