not bad for mile 25
you guys are making me feel bad. Clearly I'm not the most healthy person here. I don't eat anything, I grab some water and head out the door, regardless of the distance. If I have a race or something and want to avoid being hungry, I'll eat a peanut butter sandwich. I think I'd rather the extra two minutes of shut-eye. I'll likely eat a peanut butter sandwich afterwards, if I hadn't eaten earlier. Usually with a coke or diet coke...mmm coke.
AG, you can run/stagger with me and the No Breakfast crowd. We'll get plenty of food later in the day, right?
Running Rev'd
If it's just a normal weekday run, I just drink water and hit the road. Then I'll have iced coffee & a small-ish breakfast. I like smoothies in the morning or a bowl of oatmeal w fruit.
If it's a long run (for me), I'll eat a banana or a banana w peanut butter. Then I'll fuel during the run.

sincerely silly
I wish I had an hour in the mornings before my runs that would solve everything . Something tells me getting up earlier doesn't work when you stay up all hours of the night studying.
Soooo I feel I should mention that the only times I've managed to get up a for a morning run it didn't actually involve getting up...it was after an all-nighter (or a nap from 8-11pm and up for the rest of the morning-er). So I don't know how normal people get up an extra hour before running either! Meaning i guess my breakfast advice was invalid since my metabolism is already going, in whatever sad way...eating healthy but not sleeping healthy!
shin splints are my nemesis
