Hopefully I didn't confuse you. My point was that mostly my ability to sprint (I'm a marathoner) a mile would be based off something motivating me, aka some serious hard, fast music.
I played Devil Driver's Swinging the Dead on repeat during my most recent 5k and ran it in 26 without actually breaking a sweet or getting burned.
Nutritionally, think of food as fuel, give yourself what you need and nothing more and you'll do fine in any race when it comes to running. If you underfeed the machine, you will bonk. That simple. I wouldn't take on any voodoo this close to a run like that though, pills and **** tend to react differently with people, and the last thing you want is some gastric issue just before a run like that.
/shrug - run well
