The 7 Best Snacks To Eat Before A Run - Delish

Whether you run a few miles every once in awhile or put in a casual 20 miles a week, you've probably given some thought to what foods to eat before hitting the pavement. There are some foods that seem to be obvious no-nos (anything creamy, fried, or spicy is risky), but figuring out what will fuel your body without upsetting your stomach can be a little bit harder. While it's different for everyone, these snacks are a good place to start, and are ideal before a 30 to 60 minute workout — if you're planning on running for longer, you'll want something more substantial.

You know your body best, but as a general rule of thumb, give your stomach at least 30 minutes to digest before running. (Oh, and if you're training for a marathon, read this for a full pre-race meal plan.)
