\"\"I feel slightly hesitant to post this recipe as a recipe, because it’s so simple: brown rice with pesto, arugula leaves and a sprinkle of crumbled feta and toasted seeds. It’s my current favorite carb-loading meal before I go for my long runs as part of my marathon training<\/a>.<\/strong> It’s my savory equivalent to my Traditional Oat Porridge<\/a><\/strong>. I did a 30k run\/3 hour run on a bowl of this pesto rice a few days back. It worked well, at least for 2 1\/2 hours. After that, you are allowed to have tired legs or wanting to go home, I guess, no matter what you ate.<\/div>\n

Now that I think about it, simple meals should have their place on my blog more than anything else: BECAUSE they are so simple. They come in handy when you might otherwise choose to eat some convenience food, by lack of time.<\/p>\n

This pesto rice can be well made in advance, either by keeping all ingredients separately ready and assemble them as hunger strikes. Or, if you choose to have it for a weekday lunch at work, it can be assembled and kept in an airtight container.
