...authentic risotto! about 35 carbs per 125g (1/2 cup), 3g protein, 1g fibre

Hello all!

I've been gluten free since being diagnosed in January and am running my first marathon on May 4 - for which I've been training forever! As a long time runner, I never really did the serious carbo loading before a big race but I did tend to have a decent pasta meal the night before - little did I know!

So as my first post-diagnoses race approaches - and it's a biggie! - I'm looking for suggestions for pre-race meals. I'm not sure if rice pasta and marianara sauce will quite cut it! I'll likely be eating out somewhere since I'll be staying in a hotel the night before.

Any gluten-free marathoners out there with words of wisdom for me?

Thanks!

obviously individual response will vary...i was diagnosed with celiac at age 42, had been having regular physio for shoulder, back, wrist pain....6 months into strict gluten-free diet, i was pain free...started back to the gym, doing medium weight at max # reps....strength is back to what i was at 25...hope that is helpful
