It would depend on you body in all honesty, how hard your working etc etc.
My reccomendations is tracking your Carb intake, and your carb outake, seeing the difference, and making sure your meeting your needs.

Other than that its not really easy to give a good example because every person is differnt = )

Tough question without more information. Are you usually exhausted after your run? Did you run the previous day or days? Maybe you are overdoing it and need a break. Could be that you aren't getting enough fuel in your body prior to the run. Also could just be one of those days, we all have them that physically we just can't perform up to what we normally do.

For a race, don't try to do all your carb-loading the day before. Eat extra carbs for a couple of days leading up to the race.

For training, a good rule of thumb seems to be to eat something if you're running for more than an hour. Personally, I think the power bar/gel things are vile and only to be eaten in case of an emergency (like, say a zombie attack), but granola bars are fairly portable and reasonably easy on the stomach during workouts.
