Personally I tend to eat more when I run more. Better said, I tend to consume anything within arms reach while training for long races like a marathon. It's a wonder that I don't gain weight. The cycle continues the week following the major running event. I have named this week appropriately as the "Post-marathon Pig-out." The cycle comes to an end about 7 days after the major event, with a "Day of Truth and Reckoning" when I finally weigh myself and start training again because I gained weight. Then the cycle starts over again (today is the first day of a new cycle for me:-)Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887866077099979177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15141962.post-1127613097851231472005-09-24T18:51:00.000-07:002005-09-24T18:51:00.000-07:00For me I know that I put on weight because when I ...For me I know that I put on weight because when I run more, I get more hungry and then become a gluttonous ravenous pig and buy all kinds of candy bars and junk and stuff my face with them at night while I agonize about my running/injuries. <BR/><BR/>Ofcourse, this may not be typical. <BR/><BR/>Its probably because of the carb/storage thing you said for normal people.Jon (was) in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457505077183982152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15141962.post-1127578683697662632005-09-24T09:18:00.000-07:002005-09-24T09:18:00.000-07:00Maybe when you are logging the longer miles, you a...Maybe when you are logging the longer miles, you are eating more...and quite possible more carbs than usual...and drinking more fluids...and since carbs like to hold on to fluids, that was making your weight a little higher??<BR/><BR/>just a theory.<BR/><BR/>Tell D.

But it still comes down to energy taken in/energy expended. So now I'm a bit more careful with what I eat while training - I'm still doing long runs without hitting the wall and I'm not putting on weight.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06210838272367146650noreply@blogger.com
