The relationship between food and training
|
posted by Run Girl Run Run Girl Run is a blog that covers just about every aspect of health and fitness. While the primary focus is on my trials and tribulations training for various races, I also talk about my favorite types of exercises, experiences from my yoga instructor days and all kinds of nutrition stuff, with the occasional product review sprinkled in. Follow me as I overcome injury, try to balance a social life and beat back laziness to tackle the marathon, half marathon, 5K and every distance in between. |

Why is it that on days I don't work out I always want to pig out on not-so-healthy food, but on days when I work out, I tend to crave healthier things?
That just seems so strange to me, but it's definitely been the trend this week as I embrace my laid back recovery period.
And when I say I'm embracing this recovery period, I totally am and I'm not feeling a lick of guilt. In fact, I may have made an emergency chocolate run yesterday to get myself some delicious Cadbury mini eggs, just because I was in the mood and I could.
It's just funny to me that during training, I tend to be much more hungry, but I gravitate toward healthier food. When I'm not training, my body craves sweets and other less-healthy fare.
Does that happen to any one else?
