[Sportsandrec] Running

[Joe Shaw]

Hey guys, 
I have started running for distance. I do core and spin on my light days. I have two main questions I would like to discuss. 
1. What do you guys eat before long runs. I normally knock out some wheat pasta with grilled chicken and veggies the night before. Anyone else have go-to meals they like that work for them?
2. How do I get more speed for longer runs. I have been going faster the shorter distances and pacing the longer ones. Does anyone have other tricks?
