You started running 20 yrs ago so you obviously forgot the
psychological changes that occur when you start doing intense
exercise.

I agree that appetite suppression is mostly a beginners problem.

For a lot of sedentary people, food is the only thing that lifts their
mood.

maybe for some, for others it's sex, booze, porno movies, TV, being a
transvestite, etc.

You eat a lot after a race but you would not slip into a mild
depression if you denied yourself this food.

I don't know about that, I get damn grumpy. Aside from my personal
gluttony, for proper recovery you should get food, primarily carbs into
your system within 15 minutes of finishing a race or long run to enhance
recovery.


You dont feel the high
from running because running has lifted your mood in general. It has
given you some structure and things seem more pleasant

I agree, in general I'm happy camper but no highs since I some weed many
years ago. Maybe the cannabis stunted high gene. Any other ex pot heads
now too numb to get a runners high? I see a study in the making.


relative to the terrible pain of running.

From past posts about your training, your pain suggests you are doing
too much, too soon and/or too quickly for your current physical
condition and body attributes. Running is not like football where pain
is part of the game. I won't deny there can be some pain/discomfort at
the end of a race. OTOH, the goal is to train pain free and hopefully
not feel like *** at the end of a race.

Once you identify the source of your pain and fix it, you will discover
a delightful pain free sport.
