Runners, run on in
Do you eat before a run? Like, say you get up early to go for a C25K training run (day 1 over here) and you are starving. What would you eat? Or would you wait to eat?
I'm looking for convenience and speed. LOL.
Shot first, questions later.
Re: Runners, run on in
An apple could work with some peanut butter? It has a high water content and helps you feel full. I wouldn't eat a full breakfast though. Just make sure that you have plenty of water and wait to eat the big meal later.
I am not a morning runner, so I don't really know.
I believe, thanks to the Army, I can't handle eating much before I run. Since I'm used to early morning PT before chow. I do what Brandi said but only if I do 3 miles or more. I try to eat a half hour to 45 minutes before I run, otherwise my stomach ends up upset. Honestly, it's a trial and error to figure out what works for you.
My list
Apple + PB
Gluten Free Waffle + PB
Celery + PB
Banana + PB
You want something with a bit of protein to help you feel full. Don't focus too much on carbs because they won't absorb that quickly.
Agreed. I usually either vomit or feel like I'm going to vomit after I run. I try not to eat very much before runs or any other work outs. My motto is "If you're not puking, you didn't work hard enough." I usually eat an apple or banana with a spoonful of PB about an hour before a run or work out.
In my glorious pre-asthma days, I would eat a little yogurt before I ran in the mornings, or went to spin class, anything with a higher exertion. Did the trick for me, otherwise I got very woozy and light headed.
Yeah, the Army is why I need help in this department.
I love PB so I'm going to roll with that. Thanks everyone!
