The last few weeks have been warmer, and I'm having trouble adjusting to the heat. After I run I don't feel like eating for around three hours. I'm worried that not eating after running will start to negatively effect my running.
Any advice on what to eat or how I can make myself eat after running?
At the risk of suggesting the obvious, how about a smoothie, or a fat salad with some good bread?

just eat after you run. you don't need to eat a huge meal, but you need to get in a couple hundred calories minimum. some protein, carbs, whatever. anything is better than not eating.
i'm sure some nut will chime in telling you the exact ratio of carbs to fats to triglycerides that you need, but really, you just gotta eat something. make a pb&j or something
Thanks for the advice. I haven't even wanted to think about food after running, but I should make sure I eat something.
I think if you force yourself to eat a couple of times, eventually your body will start to adjust and you may start o crave it.
Stay hydrated, without going to ridiculous extremes, it helps.
Just eat a big meal before you go for a run. By the time you get done, you will be ready to digest some of that food and your recovery will be quicker. An added bonus is that your pace will probably be much slower.
What about eating during the run? In that way he could practice fueling techniques that could come handy in marathon and untra - marathons as well.

He could simulate a real ultra and put a big picnic table out in front of his house with every type of food and drink imaginable. He could map out a mile loop so he would have plenty of opportunities to refuel.
**note** I have run 3 ultras this year
How about some type of shake, either some type of health one or maybe just a regular milkshake. Either way should be cold and refreshing while providing your body some good post workout fuel.
