Damn it always feels good. Problem is I worked out after work and now I will be buzzing well past bedtime. Still though, the body is happy. Anyone else have a hard time getting rest when working out late in the day?

I'm usually ready to die when I'm done but the GF has the same "problem" you do. She does a lot of zumba, spin, and step kick where as I mostly just lift. That may have something to do with it.

I am the opposite. The days I lift, like tonight, is when I get the energetic buzz.

 



When I do my 25 milers on the bike or other cardio, I just get the buzz for maybe 30 minutes after then I am ready for bed.

I know what you mean. I have had to put off dinner to work out, because I have been eating, waiting an hour, then working out... then I'm up till 1am. Now, I worked out, I'm full, I'm hydrated, and winding down to sleep.

I try to always lift in the morning, but if I lift late, after a round of squats and deads, I have no problem sleeping...

Yes.  I usually work out about 7pm and do P90X or P90X2.  My body "buzzes" for quite a while after a hard workout.  All I know to do is take some Nuprin (NSAID) and maybe a melatonin tab.  That usually works after the Nuprin takes effect...about an hour or so.  If I could work out earlier in the day, I don;t think this would be as much of a problem.

Try a serving of ZMA- it won't knock you out, but when it's time to sleep you WILL sleep.

That high after a long good run is the reason I run. It is my drug, my herein, my addiction.

lucky

My "running high" feels like what i imagine coming off heroine feels like. most of the time i just feel like i am going to die, but occasionally i actually think im really going to die.


Once after a 14 mile run i woke up in the back seat of a trans am with sticky hair, 7 bucks in crinkled small bills, and a duce in my shorts.

this has actually became of of my motivators lately. If i run 3 miles i cant sleep.

If i run 3.5 miles before breakfast, 3.5 for lunch, and 3.5 at about 10 pm i sleep like a boss
