Same I need 3 hours minimum after food before running. All my hard sessions are early morning with a dog walk warm up or cool down. Empty stomach doesn't mean empty glycogen stores. I'm good for over an hour of z5 intervals on no food. Just a pint of water a double espresso then after a good clear out I'm ready to rock. Just make sure to have a good breakfast after. 10x1 min hill reps on 30s recovery this morning I'd have felt dreadful with any food inside me and pretty sure I'd have been sick as reps 7-10 I wasn't far off anyway.

I normally run middle of the day. I have to be almost hungry to consider it, and running (up to ~1hr) suppresses my appetite too, so it'll take me a while afterwards to want to even want to eat 😄
