Runners...how many calories do you eat on a very long run day?!

GaryRuns

I honestly don't count calories on my long run days, including any carb chews I use during the run itself. I try not to gorge myself afterward, not always successfully, but I don't feel too guilty afterward either for that giant apple fritter. Part of the reason I run so much is to be able to enjoy some food and quantities of that food that I couldn't if I didn't run, and it's only one day out of the week.
