Two to four hours is one recommendation I recall, for a heavy meal, however I never run after a heavy meal, having done so for my graduation run. A light meal, maybe 60 -90 minutes and a snack 30 minutes is generally stated. That said, my banana is normally eaten as I go out of the door for my long run.
