How long before a run should you eat?

[Preserved_Moose]

My next run is today at 5 and I’m planning on having a snack beforehand to help me through (banana, nuts, that kinda thing). So what would you say is the most beneficial time to eat this? I was thinking an hour but is that enough?

I read if it's a snack 90 mins - 2 hours and if it was a meal 2-4 hours.

Thanks I’ll give 90 minutes a shot

Should be about right, especially for banana

A good pre run snack is hot buttered white toast. Peanut butter that is 😋
