I'd be interested to know what variants are out there just to gain a little extra knowledge. I have been sticking to the banana or tea cake an hour before I go out and a glass of choc milk on my return? Thanks in advance for any kind soul who replies. Happy plodding!

Porridge and / or bacon & eggs on my return, depending how far I've run. Doesn't suit everyone. The real difficulty is when you have to stop running for whatever reason, but don't stop the breakfasts! Bananas are good - I often eat one if I'm training later in the day. And flapjack - flapjack........

Dvorak Mar 2015 12:32am, 30 Mar 2015 9,948 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak I can happily eat a reasonable meal and go out running within an hour, even half an hour. This is probably a bit unusual though. If haven't had a meal, I'll have a biscuit or bit of cereal bar because I find it hard to run on nothing. Variously biscuit/cereal bar/toast/ coffee/ choc milk on return - if I don't dive straight into another meal. Oh, and beer. (This may explain why I remain a bit of a porker, mind .)
