    Weird Cravings After a Good Run

    Does anyone else have weird cravings after a good run?

    For me it's a glass of diet coke, has to have ice and either a lemon or lime wedge. I think it's the fizziness of the diet coke that I crave.
    I will actually think of it towards the end of my run knowing I will reward myself with a tall glass of diet coke!

      A good run? Do you mean a long run or do you mean you feel good after exercising?

      Honestly, Diet Coke is my weird craving too! Just ice cold right out of the can. Of course, I make sure I drinking plenty of water after my run but the Diet Coke is right there with me! :smiley:

      After any good workout: meat & carbs. Lots of it too, 48oz steak type meat craving.

      Ice cold water. I don't get hungry for a while afterwards and have something planned. I crave whatever treat I have planned and earned with my run though! Ice cream, chocolate or a glass of wine

      Water. Just water. Running kills my appetite for a while. Sometimes in the morning I am very much looking forward to my morning tea after my post-run shower. Maybe that.

      I usually crave protein and salt after a long run. Makes sense I guess because I'm sure I need the salt even though I fuel with Tailwind.

      Ditto the Diet Coke craving. It's definitely weird.

      Smoking a cigarette. Yes, I know it's counter intuitive. Yes, I know it's not healthy.

      Glad I'm not the only diet coke craver after a run!
      I do reward myself with a big mac after every marathon, on the way home from a marathon, I will stop at McDonald's and get the big mac combo.
