Hi Kristin
I don't run, but I do work out, and I find that I need snacks on the days that I work out. If I work out after work, I pretty much need 2 dinners, and if I work out before work, I need a mid morning snack.

If you click on Make Connections at the top of the page, then on online groups, you will find a group called RadiantFitness. That's for people doing heavy duty exercise. I'm sure you'll find people with experience with the kind of exercise you are doing there.
