On the weekends, I can manage the earlier runs but only bc I know I have the whole day ahead to relax. <br /><br />If I'm going before work, I'll have a half a banana w/ a little pb on it or a bite of a Luna type bar. I'm not good at running on total empty. I also find that I'm pretty dehydrated from sleeping so I chug some water before I go.Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-54130920610215349942011-05-06T14:13:05.163-05:002011-05-06T14:13:05.163-05:00I usually wake up an hour before my run and have a...I usually wake up an hour before my run and have a half cup of coffee & something small to eat. (I don't know how people run on an empty stomach!) That means I've had enough time to digest a little & wake up. Obviously, this is harder when you're waking up at 3 or 4 for EARLY morning long runs in the summer but I usually don't cut it closer than 45 mins.Pretend this is realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115394437330140236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-90072109349835698562011-05-04T23:41:56.340-05:002011-05-04T23:41:56.340-05:00Gracie!!

Thank you for such wonderful advice for the marathon...I'm going to use it and credit you with it in a later post.<br /><br />I love morning runs and usually only need water and a few bites of a banana. Longer than 15 miles and I need more. Not a coffee drinker either, but I know that is necessary for some ;)Jess @ Blonde Ponytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241567668546859036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-14694214396195161662011-05-04T22:04:44.544-05:002011-05-04T22:04:44.544-05:00When I do run before work it is usllay just 2 mile...When I do run before work it is usllay just 2 miles or a 5k on the treadmill. I get ready for work then sometimes don't eat my strawberry oatmeal until I get to the office. My problem with morning running is trying to find out a way to have enough time to get out of bed and get that run in.Jess A @cajunrunnerjesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483633828532103352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-77984178807684947912011-05-04T17:27:13.725-05:002011-05-04T17:27:13.725-05:00I am still experimenting with fueling, but I have ...I am still experimenting with fueling, but I have something small ahead of time.

The longest I ran before work was 8 miles. I never had the time to eat much before a run - so I would have some water and maybe a banana? That's it.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-43551840417102977062011-05-03T16:43:28.795-05:002011-05-03T16:43:28.795-05:00I've ran up to 9 miles before work before! But...I've ran up to 9 miles before work before! But that's it. I would say on average I would only run up to about 6 miles before work (I do that once a week right now). When I was marathon training my schedule called for 8 miles during the week a lot towards the end and that was difficult for me to squeeze in before work on a regular basis! <br /><br />I HAVE to eat before a run. Usually a banana with a bit of PB before my 6-mile weekday runs. I also used to have coffee before them but now that I'm not really drinking coffee anymore I don't do that. <br /><br />Just keep chugging along, soon it will become routine!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-59147803507581736522011-05-03T15:33:41.042-05:002011-05-03T15:33:41.042-05:00I rarely eat before a run...

After awhile your body gets used to being up early and running and you'll be able to throw in speedwork if you want. <br /><br />I do 5-8 before work (I have to be in at 7:30).Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-30287290375428935892011-05-03T13:01:23.336-05:002011-05-03T13:01:23.336-05:00That should say "eke" out... although :e...That should say "eke" out... although :eek: is how I feel sometimes.T-doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483004247529040649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-39729747443578024702011-05-03T13:00:49.548-05:002011-05-03T13:00:49.548-05:00I run 4-6 miles in the morning before work.
