List of the food great for running :)
I will tell you something eating and running are very strongly correlated. I could go even further, the quality of running will depend on the food which you are eating or not eating at all. I would give you one very simple tip. Better not to eat at all than eat.
However if you are going to run for 30 or 45 minutes it is better not to eat at all, due to the simple fact that your body has enough energy to last this long, as when you are running your body is using energy from the stores. However if your plan is to work out or run for longer than hour it will be a good idea to eat food which will support you through the activity. Eating this food will keep your body fueled with enough energy to keep you going but not struggling.
Here is the list of the RUNNING FOOD - as eating them will give you the energy to run in the right way :)
FOOD BEFORE YOU RUN
- Bananas
- Berries
- Bagels

WHILE RUNNING

RECOVERY FOOD AFTER RUNNING

- Humus
- Fruits (Oranges and apples are the best to eat after hard run)
Ready steady go...

Lots of love
