I make sure that I have at least 2 spoons of honey before work out. Sometimes I mix it with outs and eat it. Honey is one of the most quickly digestible item. It gives me instant energy and lasting energy. There is also a rule that your daily protein intake must be 1gm per body wait. Oat meal contains a lot of protein and it's got a lot of fibre, so its a good thing to have oatmeal before work out.
Well you are running a long training session, so some kind of carbohydrate is going to be useful so you can maintain energy. Rice, fruit, throw in some almonds for healthy fats, etc. ought to do the trick.
I usually eat immediately post-workout (weightlifting), so heavy protein/fat.
depends. If it lasts more than an hour, i would eat a bowl of oatmeal with a couple strawberries or blueberries.
If it lasts less than an hour, protein shake, a banana or berries/fruits.
I tend to drink a lot of iced tea before, during and after training (arnis).
I sorta dislike water
I hate working out after eating anything. I will drink a glass of water with creatine in it before. After I'm usually starving. I might drink half a protein drink, 3 to 4 hardboiled egg whites, or a greek yogurt.
I used to not eat anything but I started getting too tired. so now I will have something small but filled with protein like some grilled chicken and beans or vegetables

Here's a video on general nutrition tips about pre and post workout food and supplements. Hope it helps.
I eat whole grain spaghetti about an hour and a half before and drink c4 extreme by cellucor fruit punch flavor about a half hour before a serious workout
Nothing. I'd probably throw up. I mean I'd make sure if I do eat that my food has digested good, but I eat garbage. I don't eat healthy.
I do drink a shake after I work out though.
I usually eat a meal, not huge but some complex carbs and some veggies and nuts, about an hour to 90 minutes before boxing training. I know some people train fine on less food but I need it.
Usually I work out in the morning so my breakfast consist of 4-5 eggs, banana slice of wheat bread and maybe potato. Probably 1 hour before my workout
The only thing I do before I working out is drink green tea, I don't like to eat before I work out.
I eat a good balanced breakfast and lunch and workout around 2:30 directly after work for one to two hours.
Usually some kind of fruit 2+ hours prior to working out.
carbs. 1-3 hours before
if down and out (preworkout+ephredrine+caffeine+sprinklealilcrack) 20min before workout
I often work out early in the mornign, and I dont eat anything or else it makes me sick

I eat the Michael phelps meal before I swim
Lol I just whatever I can find a hour before my laps in the pool
Sometimes I took light one but mostly prefer not to
-Scrambled Eggs
-Sausage
-Bolthouse Farm Fruit Smoothie
Then I drive to the gym... so it allows all the food to digest, and I feel energized when I workout.
I eat heavy meal plus 2 Bananas 2-4 hours before our training.
I'll have a banana, protein bar or a sandwich
I only eat after working out. :P
Usually a banana!
