If you run / jog regularly...
1. Do you get more tired during the day or does that stop after a while? 2. Do you find you need to eat more? I've started going for a jog once or twice a day and I'm loving it but find I'm tired at lunchtime and am starving all day depsite eating good protein etc. I eat a lot at the best of times and now I'm running find it hard to go even 2 hours between small meals! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

I find when I run I feel pretty tired for the first week or two but then my body gets used to it and I feel great. I definatly need to eat more too! -------------

I don't run, but I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. And I am always starving, I pretty much eat constantly as my body burns everything super quick. I also eat a meal before the gym and a meal afterwards. And yes your tiredness should stop as your body adjusts to it, then you wil feel awesome. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I've been popping out for around 30mins in the morning and again the afternoon most days. I will vary that by going to the gym around 3 times a week in place of my afternoon jog.
I know once a day is enough but I feel very motivated at this time of the year so am building my fitness while I can! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

I'm impressed!
Sorry - no longer on the original topic. When I was doing regular exercise, I found that at the start, my food and rest needs would go up a lot, but it did settle down - more than what I ate before I started exercising but not huge amounts. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

FionaS you pretty much do the same amount and type of exercise that I do. I run 5kms each morning and sometimes do the same at night or I alternate it with a visit to the gym doing weights.
I find that in the afternoons I am starving and that is my bad time as I start to pick!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

As for being tired, I don't generally feel more tired, but my body often feels fatigued, but I like that feeling, means I have worked hard  ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

I'm trying to go for runs but failing dismally at the moment.
I've been absolutely exhausted since starting due to getting up at 6am... but I think that's because the kid has been sick and waking at least once per night. I wonder how the hell I survived when she was little and waking ~3 times?!?! Apparently it gets better but I'm almost at the point of giving up. ha. |

ha. I KNOW!
My flat mate bullied me into it so I've been hauling my sorry ass out of bed at 6am three times a week to run down to the beach and back. It's only about 2.5kms but that's quite enough for me thanks! I wish I could go at lunchtimes but there isn't anywhere to shower or anything and I look like absolute hell after any sort of physical exertion... but thanks (Really I just don't actually want anyone to actually SEE me running. That's the beauty of 6am  )
