Tag: Fed running

According to a 2017 meta-analysis, exercising in a fasted state does not appear to increase long-term weight loss or fat mass loss compared to exercising in a fed state. The question of whether to run on an empty stomach or with fuel is highly nuanced and depends heavily on individual goals and preferences.

Research indicates that up to 90% of distance runners experience some form of gastrointestinal distress, which often prompts the question: is it better not to eat before a run?. However, the decision to exercise on an empty stomach depends on the intensity, duration, and personal tolerance of your workout.
