Like many of us I prefer to run first thing before breakfast. Post run I just love some lightly boiled eggs (or poached if I can be bothered) on toasted seeded wholemeal bread with a little salt and a lot of black pepper with a glass of grapefruit juice and maybe a yoghurt (Activia cherry), plus of course the ubiquitous mug of tea.
Anyone else have a favorite post run meal?

Pre run - 2 big mugs of tea,
Can't eat post run for a while, so have 2 glasses of fruit juice and then a piece of fruit. After about an hour or so I can eat, then have a sandwich and another big mug of tea.
Pre run = banana and cuppa T
Post run = a) bran flakes with raisins or sultans added, or, b) weetabix, banana and clear honey poured over yummy, or c) h/m natural yogurt bran muesli with blueberries/strawberries/banana added, or d) h/m bran yogurt & raisin muffin, loads of water and at least 2 cups of T. OK so I'm fickle and like variety in my life 
I'm like you, I can't eat before going out on my run. I make sure I drink about 400 mls of water though. Afterwards I go straight for the water and drink at least another pint. Then it's fruit juice, a huge bowl of coffee (I live in France!), then All-Bran or wholemeal toast. I keep dreaming about a full English breakfast but I wouldn't be patient enough to make it. Bacon sandwiches would be perfect! I'm saving up my M&S bacon for a victory breakfast when I become a graduate next weekend (finger's crossed).
Post run at the weekends I love either a bacon buttie or boiled egg and soliders!
I run first thing so have a cup of tea before I go out, then a spoonful of All Bran along with unsweetened muesli, a sprinkle of omega rich seeds on top and possibly some blueberries or banana on top of that and another cup of tea.
Thanks Guys,
I can see the possibility of a C25K receipe book here - Jamie Oliver eat your heart out
I also can't eat before a run but drink a good size glass of water. Come back proud as onch that managed run and have scrambled egg with smoked salmon with lemon queezed over the salmon. Yummy!
Banana before and two boiled eggs afterwards - runny yolks with salt and black pepper. Must be free-range eggies too !
I have breakfast before running - it's the breakfast I get up early for rather than the run. I like big breakfasts - porridge with banana is good, or rosti potato (grating the potato definitely counts as a Random Act of Fitness), fried egg and veggie bacon. A glass of juice, two mugs of coffee and two hours to digest it, then I am good to go.
