- You drink a lot of water, there by making you either sweat a lot or pee a lot.
- You eat like a HORSE!
I was talking to a friend of mine late last week about this and she said “do horses eat a lot?” To be honest, I’m not sure if they do. I know that they poop a lot, so I would assume that one would follow the other. Mostly I just think that I have TONS of Dr Phil type sayings all stored up in my head and I have to let at least one out a day to equalize the pressure in my head.
I’m running ~35 miles per week and I can’t seem to eat enough. Does this happen to anyone else when they ramp up their mileage? I have to assume that since I am a smaller guy, I don’t have much ‘buffer’ for these types of things so I may be affected more than others.
How does everyone else deal with the constant hunger? Or, am I some sort of half man half horse (the ass part) that requires a lot more food than the normal person!?

This post cracks me up!
When I start training, I go the other way. I don't crave a lot of food, I eat only healthy and on a schedule. Once I stop.... hold on to your hats... It's like I go out there to prove that I can eat my own weight in junk food or that eating is a sport just as running is, and both are interchangeable.
My hunger wasn't that way during marathon training but surprisingly I was during HM training?!? The funny thing is that I actually gained a little weight during marathon training (I think this was mostly due to the fact that I went with the "F this I just ran 17,18,20, whatever miles today I can eat what I want"
Ok what is it called when you just eat? Like all the time. Whether your running or not? Because whatever that is, I have it!!!
I think your right on target feeling extra hungry. Your body is calling out to you to feed it. So listen to it dude!!!
Just don't have a diet of yodels and ding dongs every day!!!!
All I know big brother is since i've actualy joined the addiction to the rec. I eat like I'm a starving child and I think using brain power makes you hungry as well. So I say eat up big brother that or drink more water and trick your body in being full...this however will make you pee like every 15 mins. haha
Hey bro i declared you winner of peanut butter.
If you want it, its yours. Just need a place to send it.
:O)
I am the same... always hungry when I run a lot (which lately hasn't been as much) but I always seem to gain weight when I am training.
I found that I couldn't keep my hands off food when I started training. Which was fine, until I had to sit out a month. Eight pounds later, maybe this horse needs to lose the saddle bags! HAHA
