Howdy, hope its ok to ask a related question here (didn't want to create a new thread)

I feed from 12noon-8pm, but often engage in physical activity after that. This is typically jogging or squash, usually between 9pm-11pm.

I don't pretend to really understand IF theory so I'm a little uncomfortable about going into a fast straight after exercise (in the case of squash, fairly intensive). My question is, is this post-feed exercise detrimental behaviour, and if so do I have any options to mitigate it?

I experimented with trying to move my feed phase to 4-12 or thereabouts, but was not able to maintain it as I'd get very hungry at work, and do normally enjoy grabbing lunch with colleagues (yeah, lifestyle sacrifices and all that)
