Guest Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I want to move my running to first thing in the morning when i wake up due to time constraints, however I have realised i won't have time to eat breakfast and digest it before I set off. Should I get up, drink some water and run? have something rather than nothing and then breakfast when I get back? They aren't very long runs yet as I am just getting back into training after a broken bone in my foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Have you searched the forum for athletes! I believe people have a pre workout meal of protein and fat and a post workout meal of protein and carbs. Hope that helps? Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpjfox Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 When I can't have a full breakfast I have a cold black un sweetened coffee (I prepare it in my press the night before and leave it in the fridge) and a Banana. Having said that In the past for short runs (2 mile or less) I've never had a problem smashing some water and heading out the door. Only at day 4 of Whole30 and suffering a serious lack of energy focus and motivation though... maybe I'm not the best person to offer advice.
