    Agree. Porridge every time


    and pasta the night before.

    Perfect. If you still need an energy boost then add a little fast carb/sugar 30-min before, simple white bread and jam does it.

    If you need an extra boost, then a small cup of strong coffee should do the trick. The active ingredient in most of the pre-workout supplements sold is caffeine

    For 5km you don't need anything, not even breakfast.

    Just to repeat - hydration.

    Supplements are one of the biggest cons there are... the only people who truly benefit from them in a performance sense are world class athletes who win by the smallest of margins - because thats all the difference they truly make
