I crave coke (soda) after a long run or ride. I want a Route 44 Dr. Pepper from Sonic and I will gulp it down. No food craving though, I think about that coke. I don't know if that is a sugar or salt craving. I drank water (not excessive though) but not anything with electrolytes, maybe that is the missing key. I am having trouble adjusting to the difference in running 80 minutes versus 30 minutes, it is a huge change for the body. This whole eating while running this is really weird to me!
I am hoping to enjoy running longer so I can commit to marathon training, I would like to do one for my 30th birthday, I don't see myself becoming a constant marathoner though.
