About to do another 6M followed by more smoothie and a lightish supper.
So you only have 2 meals a day along with your 2 runs a day?
How do you find that, energy wise?
The keys to having energy for training life AND still losing weight are:
1) Quantity of carbs - always have enough, never have too much.
2) Timing of carbs - during and after training to maximise muscle gylcogen levels which MUST be sufficient for training.
3) Lower intensity training levels - keeping HR well below LT/AT.
I lost 5st end of last year just by sticking to those principles with the asistance of CLA and HCA (which postpones carb absorption), but I was running much less. I was shifting 4lb/wk for months.
Theoretically, I should be able to lose even more on 80mpw, but managing glycogne levels could be a nightmare! Enough for runs (esp on days closer to LT), but never any more can be a hard balance to strike at the best of times, but you don't want to get caught out on a 10 miler.
Also gycogen delpeted muscles can get damaged more easily and I am putting plenty of strain on them already.
We'll see...
(burp)
I knopw weigh in is not until Monday - but another 3 1/2lbs lost. That's significant as it is over 1 stone since New Year.
cool!!
I just had a pint of beer!
Failing this do what I do and wait until after a poo poo - you lose an extra 2lbs that way!
Pants...people like you amaze me...that's just too much like hard work. Saying that though my legs are knackard after run home last night although I'm beginning to feel the fitness slowly return...
Gym tonight and give the legs a rest.
