    You could always eat the banana before the gym and the porridge after? I usually exercise on an empty stomach or have a piece of fruit. A heavy meal before running would lead to a poor workout for me.

    how about maybe a small glass of protein shake with skimmed milk half an hour before you workout.

    I think your breakfast is great. Oats do have protein and lots of other beneficial things.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oat
    Personally, I don't like bananas too close to exercise, so if you can't stomach your normal breakfast but want to eat something, I'd suggest a low GI piece of fruit - berries are good as they won't give you a sugar spike.
