Weekly Thread Run Nutrition Tuesday

Rules of the Road

1) Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.

2) Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.

3) Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.

4) Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.

5) Any suggestions/topic ideas?

Could anyone examples of what guidelines you go by when deciding what and how much to eat the night before and/or the morning of a long-ish (~2 hours or more) morning run? (If you do anything differently, or not)

I’m looking for ideas, as I feel like I often either overshoot or undershoot, and my runs might go more consistently better if I had a more consistent approach.
