Hungry

[Kerry82]

Does anyone get hungry whilst their running??

[misswobble Graduate]

Not when I was doing C25k as the whole thing from start to finish only took about 30 minutes. I think we can all survive for that long.

I always eat an hour or so before I go out running or I get hungry. My chosen running fuel is proper porridge oats, cooked for 5 minutes so I don't get indigestion

You don't need additional food on your runs until you are running in excess of 10 kms

Try eating breakfast, let it go down for an hour - 90 mins and then go out, see if that helps

Are you doing C25K, Kerry? If so, how on earth do you find time to worry about food? I was more concerned to listening to the lovely Laura, and wondering if I was going to be found dead in a lonely spot! Seriously, how can you feel hunger in 30 minutes? Either do as Miss W says and eat an hour or so before, or enjoy something after, as you re-hydrate!

Ha ha, I just noticed my stomach telling me it wanted food, it's never done it before ha ha

My mouth is always too busy with that breathing process

[Rignold]

Well, yes and no. I don't get hungry per se, in the sense of wanting to eat while running. Even on very long runs I have to talk sternly to myself to take jelly babies on board (usually every half hour after the first full hour), but I do sometims wile away the time on long runs thinking of things I am going to eat when I'm finished. Usually tremendously indulgent fantasies of heaps of lobster smothered with butter, plates of oysters and fluffy baked potatoes. Hot buttered toast.

nope not so far , always peckish after a run though

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Well.....we're all different. I find running suppresses my appetite and almost have to force myself to refuel after a run, even if I haven't eaten beforehand.

[Slookie Graduate]

No. But afterwards, about an hour after running I get munchies. Because I know this will happen I run before breakfast and have the biggest bowl of porridge you have ever seen later on (made with boring water or skimmed milk, but by then a scabby hoss between two mattresses would taste fab)

[KarenVdg]

Yes! Then again... I'm always hungry...
