Drinking goes hand in hand with eating, and for those who prefer to run early in the mornings, it is not unusual not to eat beforehand, making staying hydrated an even more important factor to pay attention to! Just as you should be hydrated before you run, it is important to try to eat something before you run, too, to give your body the fuel it needs to function safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What and how much you eat are just as nuanced as drinking before a run, but bananas, avocados, and slow-releasing carbohydrates are all good ideas. The distance that you run will also play a large role in what you should be eating pre-run. Just as drinking a lot immediately before a run can sometimes result in a cramp or a stitch, it is advisable to eat a small meal or snack before you run, and perhaps even several hours before if it is a large meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, your body should have enough fuel, both liquids, and food, to sustain your energy levels for the duration of the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
