If you go to the gym / run etc first thing do you eat anything before hand? I feel lightheaded if I don't but sick if I do!

Yes, this! Need to go for a run at 7am Sunday and not sure when to eat. I'm really prone to getting a stitch as well, if i eat.

Also hydration, I wake up pretty dehydrated but don't want to drink loads before going for a run. Tried hydrating the night before, had to wee at 2am, still woke up dehydrated!

I go to the gym in the morning without eating anything; I feel sick if I do but I do wonder if I'd have a better work out if I fuelled myself first. I am considering having a 20g Protein yogurt first thing.

If I’ve got a race I’ll get up early and eat, if it’s just normal exercise I don’t bother. What about having something bigger to eat the night before maybe?

I don't exercise in the morning any more but when I did I used to have breakfast after. I did notice a massive difference in energy on the odd occasion I'd gym or run later in the day, after eating. It was the best way to fit it in though so I just went with the flow and did what I could.

I get up at 5:30 and have a smoothie after at about 7ish and I don't always have breakfast anyway
DP has a banana on the way there
