Do you want to eat after running? I find I am not hungry for a while most unusual for me!!

I usually take on a little protein to stave off the hunger... this is often a raw egg with some tabasco.

If you’re not hungry that’s a bonus.

Running longer distances is a hunger suppressant for me and sometimes have to force myself to eat after a run.

[Patjoub in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Why is that I wonder?

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to Patjoub]

I don't know, but as it only happens to me on runs more than 10k I have considered that it may be that my body has switched it's resourcing to body fat, therefore not triggering normal hunger reflex.............purely guesswork and I would be interested to know the reason, but have never researched it.

It depends, if I've done a long slow run I'm not hungry for ages, sometimes not really until the next day. If I've done some speed work, intervals for example I am ravenous, and would eat a table leg, your leg if you stood too close, my own leg...

I also never want to eat after a run, I run on empty too.

I get in..

water+shower+coffee = contended 😊
