is it possible?
i mean, if you eat before you run, you can throw up.
but if you dont eat, you faint/ feel nauseus.
so what do we do now?

Last week I ate my tea (fish, potatoes, asparagus) about an hour before my boxing class.
I felt so sick I had to leave halfway through.
Aparently all the blood goes to your stomach to digest the food.
The guy that takes the class said just to have a banana or something before coming, then eat after so I'd recommend the same for running.

Actually, it is smart if you eat something small about 20-30 minutes before. Try to make it a small high-carb snack and be sure to have a high-carb sports drink with you for when you run. I just use water though :P I like it better.
