I can't figure out if a person is suppose to eat something before a workout. If so, it's hard to do at 4 a.m. Thoughts . . .

    Usually I just have a Diet Coke if I'm looking at an easy short workout, but if it will be something more substantial I like to have a very light "pre breakfast" on my way to the pool - like a 1/2 banana or 1/2 a bagel. Pick something that will taste pretty much the same going down as it would if it came back up. Afterwards is the time for something more substantial. Your mileage may vary.
