Is it possible to run after meals

Workouts must be planned according to the daily routine. However, this does not always work out. Often you have to eat right before training. So can you run after eating?
Running immediately after eating is not recommended.
Running immediately after eating will be extremely difficult. During digestion, the body sends most of the blood to the stomach. But if during the process of digestion you begin to use the muscles, then the body will have to spend additional resources to supply them with enough blood. Thus, there will be a shortage here and there. Therefore, there may be pain caused by a lack of blood in the body in its individual organs.
What to do if there is not enough time left before the run
You need to know that all food is divided into 4 categories: fast carbohydrates, slow carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

Fast carbohydrates are digested very quickly. These include all types of sugars, honey. Therefore, if you drink sweet tea, or tea with honey is best, you can run in just 15-20 minutes.
Slow carbs are the best source of energy for running. They usually take about an hour and a half to digest. But depending on the individual characteristics of a person, they can be digested from 1 to 3 hours. Slow carbohydrates include bread, pasta, buckwheat, barley, rice porridge.
Protein foods, which include some vegetables, dairy products, and some types of cereals, are digested for 2-3 hours. Therefore, if you ate such food, then it will be extremely difficult to run right away, as the stomach will digest food.

Fatty foods, which include sour cream, canned food, lard, etc., are digested for more than 3 hours, and it is strongly not recommended to take it before a run.

Thus, running immediately after eating is not worth it, as this will cause pain in the internal organs and the training will turn out to be ineffective. But at the same time, it is possible to replenish the supply of easily digestible carbohydrates in the body by taking fast carbohydrates, and start running within half an hour after eating.
