Another 4 miles this eve. I cant wait until the kids go back to school and I can get back to my morning runs again, I never seem to do as well in the evening. If I go before dinner, I flag towards the end and if I wait to have dinner, I'm too full and need to leave it really late to go. :/

Woodlandgirl - when I'm running in the mornings, I just have my usual weetabix and fruit when I get up first but it's usually about 2 hrs later that I manage to get going, after I've dropped the kids to school etc. Then I'll have a cereal bar and fruit etc when I get back.

Wow! Such great runners out there!!
What do you guys eat before and after running? At the moment I have my normal brekkie: fruit, muesli and yog, but after gym I am starving!!! I was thinking of having veg soup ready, but concerned about eating the right amount. I don't want too much of a deficit, and I also could just eat all day. What works for you? X

If I run in the morning, unless I'm going on a long run (over 3 miles) I run before breakfast. When I went on a running workshop a few weeks ago they said that running before breakfast means you are using up stored fats from the night before so its good for weightloss.

Otherwise, what I eat beforehand is dependent on what time of day I run. If I'm on a lunchtime run, I'll run before I eat lunch, so I would have just had whatever I've had for breakfast and morning snacks (usually fruit/yoghurt) - I'll then have my lunch once I'm back (which is either salad, soup or previous nights dinner leftovers). Evening runs are before evening meal, so I'll have had whatever I've had throughout the day.

I don't specifically eat anything immediately prior to a run, unless I'm off on a long run and havent eaten for an hour or so, in which case I'll probably have a banana, or cereal/weetabix (had 2 choccy weetabix before my 10 mile run on Sunday morning)

3 miles on sunday

 

[Shazzabir]

WG - I try to time my run so it finishes just before lunch time. I get the worst munchies ever after exercise, so need to make sure I have a meal ready and waiting, if not the fridge is raided!!
Before I run I just have cereal for breakfast and a small snack 30 mins before.

 

[Woodland girl]

Thanks ! I shall try to time it all so I can have lunch straight after!

 

[Hannahkw1]

I don't get hungry around a run at all, it seems unusual, I do try to eat quite soon after a run, but generally I am not hungry for 1-2 hours after... I don't eat before a run, as I find it uncomfortable in my stomach, and I don't get hungry during any kind of exercise. Is this bad?

 

[Pinkie1973]

Funny that as I don't get hungry either. Doesn't exercise release hormones that has appetite suppressants in. I'm usually ok for about an hour, and even then I don't eat more than usual. I do eat bananas beforehand though, and if a lunchtime run, I try and have porridge for breakfast.

10k done yesterday! Was a very slow 10k, but I did it with a friend, and I felt like I could have carried on. So I am very pleased.

Am going to cancel my gym membership this month, as I am moving house and think I should run and get a cross trainer at home and some weights for my exercise...eek!

 

[Woodland girl]

Well done Hannah, and have a fun move!

I did a spinning class today, no way can I run anywhere now! Lol

 

[desperate2Bslim]

Good luck on your running plan ladies. Have fun!

Another couple of 3 mile + runs last night and this morning (due to practicalities of dropping bike into shop for a service so finding alternative ways to get home/get to work)

But my i-pod shuffle has died! Which has given me the excuse to buy a new one. With buttons this time. Never realised how annoying the version without buttons would be. I just wish you could get a 4Gb version with buttons, biggest they have is 2Gb
