If you run, what do you eat afterwards?

[itsmeitsmeolord]

Have started the 5k programme now that my shin splints have cleared, but not really got much of an idea of what will be filling but not too stodgy/ fat laden after a run. Will need to be a meal i can cook for all the family.
Many thanks.

(tongight was the first run, got back starving, did homemade chicken and veg pie with cabbage. Ruined all that good work with a glass of coke and an icecream. . . )

On the plus side, straight after a run is the best time to indulge. Your metabolism will still be high so you'll burn off more of the meal than you would normally.

At least that's what a trainer told me once.
