| Hey Hippo, try a sports drink or some fruit if you can face it. Also I doubt you're destined to be crap. C'mon, at least you're running, so who cares when you eat! Like I said, it never did my uncle any harm. |

He's old school! I can't tell him anything.
If I can beat his PBs one day, he'll have to listen. | |

I know I'm posting over a year late on this one, but this is important.
After exercise your muscles have a 'glycogen window'. This occurs 30-90 mins after you finish exercising.
Glucose (from carbs or sports drinks etc) is converted to glycogen to replenish your muscle store.
During this window, you will store glycogen at four times the normal rate.
If you want to fuel you next running session. Eat!
I always eat a full meal after training, sometime within 30 mins. As my heart rate returns to normal pretty quickly, I'm not stressing my system.
I eat fat, carbs and protein in my meal to help repair tissue damage and prevent muscle breakdown.
One other point. My uncle doesn't bother when or what he eats and still runs my arse off! | |
