Fitness question

[Gustov]

Hey guys, I've got what may seem a silly question, but if I'm running should I run before or after eating?

Thanks

Eat what?

For me, too much food and I'll be seeing it again pretty quickly. As above, I won't eat anything major at least 1.5 or 2 hours before a decent run.

I often have a handfull or two of dried fruit just before going out though and on longer runs of an hour or more, I'll take some more fruit with me.

Surely you'll feel really ill if you eat before running. Perhaps have an isotonic drink or a banana before heading out.

I try to eat at least 2 hours before I do exercise. The blood goes to your intestines to digest the food, which isn't good if you are exercising.

I normally drink lucozade or redbull
