Answer 1

Potassium is always good for the legs - so you could eat a bowl of oatmeal with soy (rice or hemp) milk and the banana on top.

You could always use cold cereal for that if you'd like.

On the side, have a bagel and hummus or peanut butter (despite the bad rap that carbs get, they are immensely important to runners) - so you'd have your carbs and protein.

Answer 2

I know that if I need easily accessible energy in a vegan breakfast, I eat a banana with natural peanut butter on it (the protein and fat keep you full longer and digest slower, giving you long-term energy) and the banana is a great source of sugars and vitamins and minerals for an immediate "energy bar" effect. Afterwards, I'd grab a little bag of trailmix (usually dried fruit and nuts) because they're yet again a nice mix of easily accessible sugars and of proteins and fats, which keep you full and give you easily harvestable energy. By the time you run, you might want to go without eating for an hour beforehand (at least in my case, it made me sluggish - after eating you get this sugar high and then your blood sugar begins to level off and that's not a very energetic time for me). But until then, eat up, running burns a lot of calories, so you shouldn't count calories, just worry about getting enough energy to meet your running goals.

Answer 3

Try making your own muesli with plenty brazil nuts raisins cashews and organic oats served with banana and soy milk or a vegan yogurt on top that way you wont feel bloated and get a stitch while running  

Answer 4

Cereal that has fruit in it with soy milk and some morning star sausage patties. You'll have carbs, and protein for energy.
