Thanks all. I've managed a few 15/21k without water/fuel and I don't normally eat before running because I generally run in the morning and I've not eaten since the night before. I will probably be interested in going further than HM in the future so that's why I'm having to think about what that will require.
I'll have another read of the Lore Of Running chapter on energy systems.
Need to see what you can tolerate food wise just before running.
Maybe banana on toast. Banana itself. Banana and oat smoothie. Maltodexterin drink but made strong. Then take another banana or bar to eat if you feel the need. Or just take a drink and sip on some maltodexterin.
