However, if I run after work, it's been usually about 3 hours...so I guess it varies. However, I rarely fuel (or barely fuel) during the run itself. <br /><br />Those peaches look great! How do you process them and how do you eat them when you eat them later?

During training I only bring a drink/fuel if I am running 14 miles or longer.

For long runs I do eat, but usually something light and shortly before I run. I've read/heard that same thing before. They say the same thing about Gatorade or whatever that you should have it right before exercise or several hours before.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584071206419891364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-59237542591720386002013-07-09T14:19:58.705-06:002013-07-09T14:19:58.705-06:00On those random days when I get up before work to ...On those random days when I get up before work to run at 5am, I'll just run on coffee....but those runs are never more than 3 miles.

I do use Hammer Gel for longer runs (75 minutes or more) and add in Hammer Perpeteum for any run over 2 hours.

Since there's usually a couple of hours between eating and running, my stomach is pretty empty by the time the gun sounds, so a GU goes down pretty well.Murphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393060812314367826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-42680993539962619832013-07-09T12:01:57.595-06:002013-07-09T12:01:57.595-06:00If I am running in the morning, I cannot eat anyth...If I am running in the morning, I cannot eat anything before it. I'm a weirdo like that. But if in the afternoon, then i try to eat foods that will "fuel" me especially to avoid bonking. To this day I remember the worse bonking I've ever had. I was in Germany training for my first triathlon and during my run I just ran out of fuel. I am talking I could barely walk. Legs felt like led and even though my mind was saying running, the legs just weren't cooperating. It was so weird.<br /><br />Maria<br />Asphalt & TrailsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-47958969989336572412013-07-09T09:40:51.006-06:002013-07-09T09:40:51.006-06:00I hardly ever eat before my mid-week runs, but I a...I hardly ever eat before my mid-week runs, but I always eat before a long run or race. I guess the same logic applies and the quote you included would support that. I might try it!
