Well, quite a few times I've trained 7.45-8.45am and then not eaten  
until 6 or 7 pm.  I can't say I felt much different on those days  
than on days I didn't train early, at least on average.  I find it  
easier to train early and go without food all day than wait until in  
the evening (like now) and train when I feel like I should be eating.

I've given up training early for the rest of winter though, the cold  
and dark don't help and it's difficult to get enough sleep sometimes  
so I stay in bed later.
