I have heard that you should nap after your long runs, because you are tired and to recover faster.  I have never been able to do this.  Right after my long run I am usually tired but as soon as I eat I feel great.  I have more energy then usual and am not really hungry for the rest of the day.  The problem is the following day when I feel sluggish and just want to sleep and eat.  I try to eat normally the day of a long run with a little extra afterwards but I wonder if I am not eating enough.  Or is this normal?  Is everyone a little tired the day after?
I'm usually pretty tired the day of and SUPER HUNGRY the next day!
