Probably really stupid question!!

If running in the evening do you guys eat before or after the run. I’m assuming if before a good few hours before the run?

Just got home and starving but at same time want to do my run but probably haven’t got time for both 😭

If I have to eat dinner I will run later, say 830. A lot of other runners out at that time too.

However if I can have only a snack and wait for dinner then I will have peanut butter on rice cake or a banana to keep me going till after run.

Don’t know if the peanut butter on rice cake is a good idea but I sure do love it.
