    you need to eat back your exercise calories anyway so maybe just plan a snack or meal for a few hours after your run. personally I tend to run just before a meal anyway.

    You probably need to eat some more carbs after your run?

    Are you eating back your running calories?

    It helps me if I make sure I've eaten before I run too, and drink plenty of water
