took me way too long to stop ignoring this

Creatine timing sorted, training block going well, and I still managed to bonk on a 14k yesterday because I ate basically nothing before heading out. Aye it was brutal. I know what works for me at this point — banana and a bit of oat something, around 45 mins out. But I'd just run out of bananas and thought "ach it's fine." It was not fine. Pace fell off a cliff around 10k and I was just grinding through the last stretch feeling a bit grim. Honestly the pre-run food thing is the one area where I keep getting complacent. Like I've got the long run nutrition dialled in, I know my gels, I track my splits obsessively — but the basic "what did you actually eat this morning" question catches me out more than I'd like to admit.
