Qualifying exigency leave, like leave for a serious health condition, is a FMLA-qualifying reason for which an eligible employee may use his or her entitlement for up to 12 workweeks of FMLA leave each year.
Considerations. You can change your calorie intake during training if you feel it is necessary. If you're gaining weight, try eating 200 calories less per day. Likewise, if your training is suffering and you lack energy, you're probably not eating enough, so add in an extra 200 calories each day.
When you begin a run, you should feel neither starved nor stuffed. You don't want to eat immediately before running because it may lead to cramping or side stitches. But running on an empty stomach may cause you to run out of energy and leave you feeling fatigued and lethargic during your runs. Your best bet is to eat a snack or light meal about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before you start running. Your choice of a pre-run meal is important, as eating the wrong foods could send you looking for the closest bathroom during your run or just leave you feeling very uncomfortable. Choose something high in carbohydrates and lower in fat, fiber, and protein. Some examples of good pre-workout fuel include a bagel with peanut butter; turkey and cheese on whole wheat bread; a banana and an energy bar; or a bowl of cold cereal with a cup of milk.
