    Before running you should take something light. Eat an apple and drink maybe a half a cup of milk or water.3-5 miles would be a good run for mornings.

    1) No. Where would you get your energy?
    2) Mix it up.
    3) Huh? If you mean distance OR time always try to beat your previous time.

    Your body burns energy while you're sleeping. If you don't, you're more than likely dead.

    I usually have a banana before a run in the morning and it's fine. I don't find it too heavy at all and it doesn't impare my run at all.

    Milk or any kind of dairy poduct before a workout is a bad idea. You will get extreme stomach pains and cramps.
    I once had a grilled cheese an hour before a hard workout. Lets just say it was the first I ever couldn't finish a workout and had to throwup.

    I usually jog on an empty stomach, with the exception of a bottle of water before the run, just because I don't have unlimited time in the morning (if I ate first, I'd have to wait like 20-30 mins to run) and I believe in the idea of burning stored up fats.

    you shouldn't ever jog. that's for girls and pussies. run at a consistently challenging pace (80% or so).

    distance is more important, since it's endurance, but you could mix it up a little.

    recently, I've been struggling with motivation....my initial idea was 7 days a week but I only do like 4 because some days I'm just like '**** it'. any of you guys experience this? I gotta get something to think of that really motivates me, I guess.

    You should start jogging for 5-10 minutes as a warmup and also finish with a slow paced jog lasting around 5 minutes. So, please explain why you should never jog and why it's for "pussies".

    Intensity is more important.
