I prefer running on empty if it's an early morning run, but if it's a race day, then I'll eat some oatmeal and have a cup of coffee.
If it's an afternoon run, I'll try not to eat a couple hours before my intended run- I just feel too sluggish and full- at least for the first few miles. I'll also pack a couple of Cliff bars and some gatorade / powerade for the recovery after the run.
