You finish your long run feeling accomplished… but within hours, you're raiding the pantry, eating everything in sight, and still not feeling full. Sound familiar? You’re not alone—and those post-run hangries might be doing more than just messing with your mood. They could be sabotaging your training results too.
In this episode of The Fuel Run Recover Podcast, we're diving into:
Why post-run hunger hits so hard (especially after long runs)
How under-fueling before and during your run sets you up to feel out of control with food later
What runners get wrong about post-run recovery nutrition (and how to do it right)
Why your appetite might feel unpredictable during training blocks—and how to stabilize it
Easy, realistic strategies to fuel smarter so you don’t end up in the hungry-caterpillar spiral
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your appetite, performance, or the scale creeping up during training, this episode will help you reconnect the dots and take back control of your fueling routine.
