sugar rush. Im thinking the guy who told you may not be an avid fitness enthusiast because eating a candybar isnt something they would do.
I wouldnt do it. I'd have a 1/2 cup or a full cup of black coffee instead. The caffiene would give you a bit of a boost, but you need to do it right before your run. I almost always run first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I always have this coffee right before the run. Works for me.
All that sugar that is in the candy bar is not good for you.
I'm with Lao. On run days, I have a cup of coffee (6 oz.) about fifteen or so minutes before I head out. That works much better for me than a candy bar.
As a teen I would run ten miles every morning. I would drink about 16 oz of Koolaid before. I was in great shape.
I think so long as you finish the workout before the crash your ok.
Wanted to ask this...I had a guy tell me that if you eat a candy bar before you run it will give you a little pep....is there any truth to this?
Yes, but it's false energy that will drop you like a rock when it runs out. It's better to eat some fruit (real fruit not a fruit flavored something!) to fuel your body.
