I'm guilty of training on an empty stomach. I'm a get-up-and-go kind of girl when it comes to heading out for a run. It's not that I think I shouldn't eat before I train - quite the opposite, in fact. Everything I know about fuelling points to how important it is - but the truth is, I don't always prioritise it the way I should.
Don't get me wrong, if I'm heading out on a longer run, I will make sure I've eaten beforehand to give me energy. My downfall is what happens after. I don't always consciously focus on refuelling or getting enough carbs in for the rest of the day, despite what I'm asking from my body training-wise. And with a half-marathon around the corner, I knew I needed to take fuelling more seriously, not just before workouts, but afterwards too.
