now that im doing these longer runs ive noticed my appetite has grown some. Is this a normal thing for runners or just my dang body trying to keep me down?

I tend to get a bit hungrier on running days. A lot of it depends what your diet is like. If you tend to have a lower calorie diet you might find that the runs will make a difference but an average consumption shouldn’t make too much of a difference
