meal ideas for evening before half marathon

[raspberrytart]

Hi, I need some inspiration . Will be staying over at a good friends next sat before GNR. Sooo there will be 3 People and a veggie /pasta meal has been decided, but I am rather bored of lasagne. It needs to travel well, be fairly easy to prepare and be god damn tasty.Please help:-)

Are you sure you want to be experimenting the night before a race? what would you normally eat the night before a long run - I'd stick to something tried and tested...

I need some inspiration, thanks, have experimented with all manner of vegetable/pasta combinations, just need a different combination than the lasagne dish. Its veg and pasta, not some unusual meal:-) I don't really think about what I eat the night before a long run ,but as I said I'm staying over with friends so want to do something nice :-)

How about a veggie pasticcio then? (Fancy word for pasta bake...) with the same basic ingredients just cooked differently...

Mm , thank you LordE , think I may go with the mushroom and cream one, sounds lovely ,thanks again

no no no - do not have creamy past the night before a half marathon!!

it might be ok for the non runners but not for the one running - the risk is that it will give you gut ache (and potentially diaorrhea). the runner needs to have one with low fibre - I'd just go for a very simple tomato and basil sauce.

My mum has run over a dozen marathons, she ways eats chicken and pasta in tomato sauce. She says to never experiment with something new the night before!
