No, you don’t need to eat after you run. Especially if you’re not hungry

For muscle repair and recovery. I’m a middle aged woman. I’m not running at a very intense speed compared to what I was capable of in the past, but I’m getting back into shape so it is a moderately hard effort for me.

You’re running for 30 minutes. Unless you’re running sub 5 minutes miles you don’t need anything for muscle repair and recovery.

1/10 troll attempt there. Everyone has constant muscle repair needs, and exercising when older requires more recovery effort.

Couple of boiled eggs for a night snack will fix you up OP.

OP doesn’t need any more nutrition. A competitive middle aged runner OPs age would consider her run a recovery effort.

OP just needs to rest and hydrate. There is no need to validate workout effort with additional “fueling” at OPs level.

Generalities mean nothing.

Well, if you don’t like the idea that “running” a 30-40 minute 5K doesn’t require or even benefit from “additional nutrition” I don’t really know what to tell you. That’s just science. Are you anti general science?

I mean, I guess - but you can get the "additional nutrition" during the day. It seems like OP's primary concern is with losing weight. The run is probably burning 175-200 calories max, depending on how fast you run. If you're at a calorie deficit during the day (again, if weight loss is the primary motivator), I suppose you could eat, but she said she isn't hungry, so... I guess I don't get this post at all.
