True -- but while that's an important principle to keep in mind, in
the meantime we deal with the probability that what works for many
should work for...many!
With that premise then many of the serious runners that I know don't
really want to eat much ( if anything ) if they are going to run
"early".
Most ( well many ) of us really have enough calories in our system
from the day before to deal well with some exercise.
If you are a diabetic or prone to blood sugar level problems etc of
course that's a whole different situation probably.

Quoted message said:Personally I never eat anything before I run in the morning. I always
do an hour of running ( somewhere between 7 1/2 and 9 miles depending
on if I am just dogging it or feeling relatively sharp ).
And I'm okay either way...whether on a full stomach in Army basic
training or nothing at all on the occasional morning pleasure-jog, I
may be slower but I've never been incapacitated by the presence of
food.
Then again, I very rarely run more than three miles!
I rarely run less than 7 or 8.

getting the run in.
It's fascinating to me, how differently runners and weight-lifters
train...in the Army, I never realized there was a difference...I had
an "innocent," "holistic" view of physical fitness then....
I wasn't aware that the Army provided any significant relevant
approach toward obtaining holistic views of training.
I was more under the impression that you picked up a backpack, a
rifle, put on your boots and started running until they told you that
you could stop.
