I'd go for porridge if I had a normal training session at least 3 hours away.
Toast if racing or training within less than 3 hours.
Both can be nutritious (depends on what goes on the toast).
You just have to see how your digestive system takes it.

I digest porridge very slowly and I've been known to make some pit stops during training after such a breakfast

I prefer toast and honey, although recently I've started having one of the lighter cereals.
Porridge is too heavy for me

I feel stomach pain if I don't eat anything and go for a long run in the morning
