That sounds fine to me. The problem is that as we age, cortisol and
insulin linger longer in our blood: half an hour for a kid; 12 hours for
old people. If you're burning off the sugar within a couple hours, or
just taking enough to raise a low blood sugar level to normal, that
shouldn't cause any trouble. (It would make more sense to me to drink
the juice before the run, though.)
My grandmother used to drink the juice of two oranges and half a lime
every morning. But that was much less than a cup. On the other hand,
she wasn't running!
