Should I have a drink before my run?

[CaptFrey]

Hi

I get up really early just put my running garments on and head straight off to run. I always drink a couple of pints of water on my return while attending to house tasks pre leaving for work. Am i ok not having anything to drink pre run or should I detour and have a drink?

I do the same. Wake up, cuddle the kids, go for a run. But I drink about a pint of water before my run. I've never had stitch or cramps. So I believe it works 😉

I shall try that it may pep me.
