I eat before a 5+ mile run - either a protein bar or oatmeal with blueberries.
Less than 5 miles, I eat after the run.
But either way, I ALWAYS eat some good protein and carbs after a run, and a big glass of milk.

I have a protein shake after working out in the morning for building/maintaining muscle.

I don't run, but I strength train or do yoga first thing in the morning. I can't do either with anything in my stomach - but I'm a middle-aged woman. Your teenage son can experiment and find what's best for him.

I can't eat or drink anything for two hours before running or I get cramps. I often run first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

I might have half a banana before. Then have whatever I would ordinarily eat afterward. (Oatmeal, scrambled eggs, toast with pb and the other half of the banana, etc.)

I have a coffee and oatmeal before I run. It's certainly trial and error and though and he can see what works for him.

I eat after. If I eat before, I have to eat something very light and be finished an hour before working out.

Agree with 12:22 - if less than 6 miles, don't worry about it, if more, some light carb and protein is a good idea (piece of toast with some turkey breast)
I work out a 6:00am and don't eat until 10 or 11, but am a mid-50s woman staying to stave of thickening I'm the middle due to menopause

Definitely eat after an early morning. Eating before is asking for a cramp. And at 13 he should be eating whatever for feels like eating afterwards.

I feel sick when I eat before running. Post morning runs I eat eggs, turkey bacon, and fruit.

I cannot workout with anything in my stomach, even water, or I'll get cramps and feel gross. Once I start running, I don't feel hungry or thirsty or anything.

Depends on the person and how they feel. Is he hungry? How do his runs feel?
The only time I ever ate in the morning before a run was if I was running 6+ miles/for more than an hour. For a regular 3 mile run I never ate and when I go to the gym to lift I don't eat before hand.
Not running but my son has very early morning swim practice and eats a few fig newtons on the way there.

I workout on coffee but if it doesn't bother him, have some carbs & protein. Banana, peanut butter toast.
