Is anyone else absolutely shattered, as in whole body tired, could sleep for a week, after going for a run? I thought I was supposed to feel energised, but quite honestly I'm exhausted.

I have noticed it does make you sleep better but then I do majority of runs in the evening

Straight after I could easily sleep... give it an hour or two and I’m very energetic again.

I'm full of beans straight after, but as the day wears on I feel like the walking dead!

Maybe a banana after a run?
