I'll eat   half a bar immediately before a  run when I've found my glucose levels to be too low to start running. I'm in good company,  Before the advent of  sports gels (and even today) one of the favourite fuels of many hill runners  and cyclists  was flapjacks, various mixtures of oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fat and sugar ie not vastly different to cereal bars.</blockquote>
