First and last run after eating

Mother-in-law made me a huge roast dinner and I chose to wolf this down for tea and then go for a run about 2 hours after finishing - never again. Worst stomach cramps all the way today and could have happily thrown up. Not an enjoyable experience and not one I will be repeating ever again!

That just shows you that even after two hours going for a run after a big meal is not advisable. When I was doing C25K most of my runs were around 9 am, about 90 minutes after my breakfast which was OK,

I can't even go for a walk 2 hours after a roast, so well done for trying!

Gentle hugs for the cramps x

The biggest danger is from your mother-in-law finding out you blame her roast for your cramps and nausea 😆. My worst food experience was running shortly after eating stuffed peppers for lunch - more repeats than daytime TV!

It was awful - my stomach felt like it was going to explode 🤣 I’ll stick to waiting until I get back in the future

Maybe eat slower next time, or change cook?

It's just something you learn and you won't do again that's what the plan is learning

Ouch. Then ouch. I learned to take a break after just a couple of boiled eggs and a piece of toast. Your stomach had no idea what your brain was doing and they aren’t the best of mates at all times. Now the brain has learned. ;)

I read a book the other day and the guy started eating salads for breakfast - filling, nutritious, delicious and quick to digest...
