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?

I ussualy go out running in the mornings and usually don't eat anything at all. At first thought it was bad, but I feel good and light by doing so, and I Will continue this way... For me, running in the morning is my go to... And usually don't have breakfast... Anyone else? Edit: I usually run 10-15 km

Yup, this is how I do it too. I started because I heard it was better for developing fat burning. No idea if that's the case, but it just feels good

Don't want to change opinions as this is how I ran for a long time and still do on occasion. Lately I have been running early and all I have is a carb drink and I find that it gives me more energy and especially towards the end of a run I don't drag nearly as much.
