    I had to experinement with pre-race and pre-run fueling strategies. I've found that small and simple works best for me and that I should skip the coffee. The coffee part hurts my soul but I think it was a contributing factor to my long run tummy issues. Now I do a few caffinated shot bloks during my run if I need a little extra buzz.

    Breakfast for me: 1 peice whole wheat high protein bread, 1 tsp. peanut butter, and 1 tsp. jam or honey.

    Thank you for the suggestions! And yes, I have to learn to skip the coffee... I heard that caffeine and warm beverage in general are very likely to cause GI problems if taken before a run!
