Thanks to the motivators. I have completed a 40 minutes run.
Question is what should I eat just after the run?

@trackman11 Thank you for your advice. Normally, I have light dinner at 1800 hours, I get up at 0400 hours, I eat nothing M, just drink 2 or 3 glasses of warm water and then I complete my run.
After that, I wait for an hour and then I have cornflakes or oatmeals with eggs or sandwich at times.
Is it sufficient breakfast?

@TheOrionbeltseeker it is. Real test is how you feel. Running and refueling should result in increased energy. Sound like it’s working for you.

That is not a long run in the overall context of what humans are able to do. You probably only burned 500 calories. We have 2,000 calories of glycogen in our muscles and liver and enough fat for days and days of activity. Your run needs no specific intake of anything to aid in recovery. All of those beliefs about timing and content of food or drink after exercise are promoted by companies and not backed up by any science. Read “Good To Go” if you want more detail.
