I do most of my runs in a fasted state (because the only time I have to run is at 5AM and I am NOT getting up early to eat beforehand). I will take a few gels or a sports drink on a long run, but that’s it.

I haven’t been thinking about run fueling in terms of combining what I’m getting on both sides of the run, but I can see that I definitely should. The trouble I get into is that I under-fuel before a long run, and then overload to compensate when I get back. This is a great reminder that I should develop some better habits in that area to make sure that the calories going in are more evenly aligned with the calories that I’m burning up. Thanks!
