It really depends on your body - if you feel good and have no problems you can eat while running, lol. some people can eat minutes before exercising and some need a couple of hours.

If you are doing any type of long distance running, your body's need for energy will be very high. I wouldn't suggest running on an empty stomach.
Personally, I eat about 20 minutes before any type of excercise, but I am not a distance runner either. Keep in mind though that having food in your stomach is like having gas in your car's fuel tank. No fuel = no go ( or at least lower performance)
