Best breakfast before run

[Crib]

I’m doing a Big Funrun 5K tomorrow which starts at 11.00, I always run first thing in the morning just having half a banana before I start normally. What’s the best breakfast to set me up for the run 🤔

My choice would be small bowl porridge and half banana, at least hour and half before you run. Maybe I would take a few raisins as a mid day snack in case lunch is delayed. Hydrate well today. Enjoy 😎

I agree with Millsie-J but if you've not eaten porridge before a run before then maybe tomorrow isn't the best time to start! You could go with toast and a banana which would be fine for a 5K.

Good luck and enjoy it 🤗

Many thanks, think I’ll go with the toast & banana breakfast. Will have a jelly baby in my pocket for half way around, I have become addicted to it on my runs lately 🤣

Porridge 💪 Good whole oats, not that Instant stuff that looks like dust 😁. Although in an emergency is better than cornflakes

Good luck. Have loads of fun 💪😃👍

I don't like running on food really, I like to have a flat white on the way to the start line. Out the door, into coffee shop, run race. Happy Squeak 😊

Every day is porridge day for me - with chopped nuts, fruit and a squirt of honey! Yum!😀 Good luck with your run!
