When I've been slacking, then I start running again, I get hungry. I'm curious how they prevented people from eating more than normal after exercise. As they pointed out, a sports drink will more than cover the calories lost. On workout days, I would bet, people were taking in an extra 1k or more calories.

I tend to find (and have read that this is a common occurance) that long, hard runs actually suppress my appetite.
