Fasted morning runs are fine, as they do have benefits such as increased fat burning and metabolic adaptions, but you should not be going on fasted runs if you’ve been up all day and skipped breakfast and lunch‼️

Running on an empty stomach can lead to reduced performance, risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and muscle loss. These things will result in dizziness, early fatigue, and the breaking down of muscle tissue (compromising muscle mass). 🏋🏾‍♂️

The effects of running on an empty stomach can vary from individual and for some, fasted low-intensity morning runs are perfectly fine. However, with long or more intense runnings, you’re generally advised to have a light meal or a snack before! 😋
