It's up to you if you want to eat before it has to be something small like a banana or for me I have a Belvita breakfast biscuit and tea about 1 and half hours before running 😊

I never eat before a run. Gives me stitches and wind! But guess it’s down to personal choice.

I don't have anything.

Up, clean teeth, faff about with putting on all my gear, lights, hi vis, and off I go.

I love early running 🤩

Enjoy it 😊

Hello ! I never eat before a morning run, literally get up, stretch, drink water then out the door. Don’t be nervous, I run on my own very early too but if your concerned then depending where your running can you stick to the main roads rather than isolated places. I also have water and banana directly after...then breakfast when I can breathe again properly 😂 Good luck 🏃‍♀️

It's such an individual thing. I run very early and don't eat or drink anything before my run, that's what works for me.

I run at 6:00 and I don’t eat anything until I get back
