| EXTREME tightness after long exercise session?
hi guys...
well i did it, i walked/ran 9 miles today (just to see if i could do it in preparation for the Minnie Marathon in 2 weeks)... i had a relatively OK pace... 16:03 minute mile overall - fastest mile was about 14ish... i need to push harder, but that's another matter... 
so i did 9.1x miles come home and am STARVING ... like about to gnaw off DH's arm while the water was boiling. fixed some pasta for lunch (i've never had a problem with pasta before) made an effort to eat slowly and chew the crap out of my food ... after 3-4 bites or so i was done...
it's been stuck ever since (going on 5 hours)... i've PB'd til my throat hurts and i still feel 'stuck', yet im soo hungry... (burned almost 1700 calories during my walk/run and ate 1/2 a bar - 100ish cals - for b'fast)...
i'll be on liquids for the rest of the night due to my PB, and i'll take mushies tomorrow.
i guess im just typing to type  ... anyone else have this happen? thoughts?

I also tend to get really tight after an especially brutal workout.

congrats on the 9+ miles!
my dr suggested i carry some raw almonds / nuts with me at all times to pop in to curb the "want" to shovel food in, especially after a workout.
the only times i've gotten "stuck" have been after a workout, and i couldn't get my lunch in fast enough.
good luck w/the marathon.

i am doing race for the cure next saturday and am thinking about doing another 9 miles (that hopefully my iPod will register - grrrrrrr) Sunday, but not sure if i'll be able to.
today was a perfect day for it. great weather (mid-70s) but a little windy.
im not sure what my mileage looks like this week.

good luck w/the marathon. | i purposely ate slowly though ... so who knows???
i had a bar with me, but wasnt anywhere near hungry (or thirsty for that matter - didnt drink anything until i got home)...
i was looking for something to carry around and munch on during the Minnie, almonds sounds like a good option - thanks!

Wow, that's a long way so soon after major surgery, you're one determined lady!
When I did the 14.4 kms the other week (about 10 miles) I couldnt eat for an entire day. I had to do liquids. I cannot eat after a very intense session, which is why I try to time my sessions for the afternoon when I tend to get that mindless I just wanna eat something feeling.

I have always felt tighter after working out, even 30 minutes at Curves. I have asked other people and they thought I was crazy, but I know it is true! I did a good hour of cardio today and tried to eat pasta too.... no go!

Yeah, seriously. If you cant enjoy a Mars Bar after running 14km, when CAN you? 
Dont worry, I kept it all very sensible after that. Actually I nearly passed out at Flinders St Station when the sugar hit my bloodstream, lol.
normally I dont run far/hard enough to be completely unable to eat, I just have to wait an hour or two before I do. I dont really get scientific about after workout fuel, I just wait till I want to eat again.
