- I don't believe much in eating before you run in the morning. In my experience
- my body has stored more than enough calories for me to run as far as 13-18
- miles first thing in the morning without eating a thing. I've probably
- bonked no more than twice in 100 runs of over 10 miles. Besides, eating
- one pancake provides you with maybe 150 calories, which are gone after 1 1/2
- miles.
