    This has made really interesting reading for me. I'm training to beat a specific personal time in an 11km run in November. I feel like I've hit a brick wall in my pace and am thinking fuelling is the key to me beating that time. Lots of good tips here, thanks all!

    Most of my runs (at least those under 90 minutes) are fasted. A cup of coffee & out the door.

    For my longer Sunday runs (when I'm ramping up for a race) my normal pre-run snack will be toast & peanut butter and a banana at least 1.5 hrs before running.

    In terms of fuel what you eat the day before a run has more impact, are you getting enough carbs?
