Agree on this strategy. What I like to do is that while I am cooling off, I grab a handful of peanut butter stuffed pretzels and a chocolate milk. I find that seems to hold back the urges to snack all day long.Are you eating right after your runs? I found even though I wasn’t hungry after running, training for a half, I had to eat otherwise I’d eat half my pantry later in the day. I’d start with a protein bar and then try for some other healthy options. Otherwise I’d eat unhealthy food. Do you know how good a ham and cheese Hot Pocket tastes after a long run (or both from the box?)
Now when it's MW and after the long runs, it's all snacks go! That breakfast/pizza cone food truck back in the finishline/spectator area is the winner for the walk back to the car. LOL.
