I haven't raced a 10k in about 15 years. Starts at 8 AM, when should I have breakfast and how much to consume? I raced an early morning 5km a week ago with just a piece of toast and a banana, I don't think that is enough for a 10k. Thoughts,..... no trolls please.
300-500 calories

Wake up 2.5 hr early, normal breakfast, let coffee do its trick and be up and ready to roll.

I would agree with this. I do peanut butter with two smaller pieces of toast, which might help you out a bit. You should be fine.
Honey stinger waffles should the trick. They digest easily and should provide enough calories if you eat 3-4 of them. I eat a different brand here in Germany, but it’s almost the same thing.
I have a sensitive stomach, so I can't eat before I run. But coffee with heavy cream and honey does the trick.
The hungry cheetah chases the gazelle. The full cheetah takes a nap.
I like a coffee for sure, and usually either a very small whey shake with banana, or a granola bar -- but only because I feel a bit lightheaded if I don't eat a little bit of protein in the morning. I think you don't need any extra nutrition in your system to get through a 10k; your glycogen stores should be way more than sufficient. And personally I'd rather not have much bulk in terms of food sloshing around in my stomach.

No trolls please. And yet you troll every single topic on Kenyans/East Africans.
I suggest you have EPO for breakfast. According to you it's the only way of achieving great results.
Oh, but you are white, aren't you? Never mind. You are naturally gifted then, and you can eat five pizzas for breakfast or fast for five days, you will easily run a sub 27.

I see who is triggered, you do realize he calls out white people too?
You think 8 am is an early morning race?

Just harken back to the days of old, such as 15 years ago. Just do what you did back then. Running isn't rocket science and in terms of eating before a race experience is your best friend.
When I was 25, I could have gotten away with eating breakfast 2.5 hours before a race. Now I'm 45 and all that food will still be sitting in my stomach in 2.5 hours.
I get out if bed fours hours before race time and eat a bagel with cream cheese, than drink some coffee so I can purge last night's dinner from system.
You know your body better than any of us. How long do you feel full after you eat? A little longer than that is how long you should eat before your race.
And fuel isn't much of a factor in a 10K, if you're not starving at the start line, you'll be fine.
Better to eat too little too early than too much too late.
My preference for a shorter race like a 10km is to have a couple bits of toast, with peanut butter/marmite/whatever, and a coffee two hours before.
You don't want to get to the startline feeling it in your gut. In fact, you don't want to feel it on your warm up, either.

Grow a pair bro, you don't even need to eat for a 10k.

I am not triggered, thank you very much, Subway Surfers Affliction :)
You and your best buddy only call out white people from the the former "Bloc".
So yeah, go and win that race, you amazing white specimen!

Instead of no trolls, I should have stated "ex runner excluded."

Some of the advice sounds logical folks. So thanks. I usually train at lunch time or in the evening. I usually have oats and banana (good old Scottish porridge) and about 3 bits of toast (with a raspberry spread), and a kiwi for breakfast. But I don't usually run for 4-5 hours after this. Oats and bananas are easy digesting but as I've stated I haven't raced this far for many years.
I would never consider eating anything before an early morning 10K. Eat (and drink) plenty the night before.

You and your buddy are obsessed with ex-runner and El Keniano.
Get a life.
And yes, I hope you get diarrhea during the race :D
