Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Congratulations, Mike!!! You'll never forget your first!! Very classy of Chet -- sure hope the racer is OK. So scary. Major adrenaline rush watching basketball. I never watch basketball but am 1000% behind VCU's Shaka Smart (graduate of my aforementioned small little college -- hometown hero in our books!). He is a class act and I'm so thrilled for their team. Final Four!!! Edit: Shaka is from Madison, WI... so Suzy and Dino have a reason to get behind VCU too, right?!

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Love watching the swimming, too, Kyla. 2 of my kids were milers....those swimmers are in a league of their own. So are their parents - gotta love lap counters. We've been watching D1....Cal and Stanford!! Swimsuits, I wear a one piece...bikinis are a thing of the past. I like speedos best, but I'll wear whatever's on sale in the grab bag. Our female masters swimmers seem to be about a 60-40 mix - more one pieces. When I swim the the HS kids, WAY more 2 piecers. They aren't allowed to race in them, though. Feel your pain on yesterday's rain run, Kim - I was out on my bike! Was OVERJOYED to wake up to sunshine today!!! Ran almost 19 today, was really happy with the pace I held. However, ooof. Legs are toast, nutrition needs a bit of help.....even had to climb a fence to get to a porta-potty at mile 15. Need to rethink this....soon. Don't want this issue at Big Sur. Speaking of Big Sur - since part of Highway 1 fell into the ocean, they're re-routing it. So now I've got no map to obsess over yet! Nice job on the race, Mike - the rr needs work, however!! |

Linda--what are you doing before and during your long runs? exactly...what you're eating, timing, etc. I know you boofed before one of your runs this week, but that was pretty explainable.....high fat before a run BAD...impossible to digest when the HR is elevated. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() okay, ashamed to admit.....but breakfast was pepsi and a poptart. I drank 4 scoops of sustained energy during the run, a shot of Slam (like a 5 hour energy) and a gu. I'm pretty sure I caffeine overloaded, and everything started moving very fast - except the legs! Oh, yeah, and as hubby put in....started the run with no calories to speak of in my body. Probably time to grow up and stop eat cr*# for breakfast. i'm growing proficient at this fence, but one of these days I'm gonna get caught on it, I'm sure...and it's near a pretty public school/baseball field! |

Don't want this issue at Big Sur. nice run hot legs! climbing fences??? kim can help you with that, i believe. wait, help with legs being toast...nutrition...or climbing a fence to get to the porta-potty? Linda, you have got me beat on the porta potty, I usually just look for a grove of trees to hide under. Legs being toast? Sorry my last 3 long runs have been in freezing rain so I got my ice bath while running. Nutrition? In all seriousness, you know I am a stickler for my pre run routine... I just treat the night before and that morning of anything over 16 miles as if it were race day...so whatever you might like to eat and drink on marathon morning, do that and you will be fine! (unless it is usually pepsi and poptart, then I can't help at all) Good job on the 19, hot legs! |

YOU'RE CURSED! I think people that have zero problems with weight often eat like crap. I agree that 5 hour energy full of caffeine probably did a number on your GI system, but to me the whole plan is flawed. I would consider higher quality calories before the run. If you must have a Pepsi (I drink coffee) do it with at least 1-2 hours before running. The pop-tart? how about Steel Cut Oats? a PBJ on whole grain? Regarding nutrition during the run, it looks like you took in about 27-30% of calories burned which seems reasonable. how do you time when you take in your fuel? are you ingesting water with the SE? and are you sure you can handle protein in a sports beverage? mixing two types of sugar can also bug some people...did you use a hammer gel? You didn't say what you ate the day before, but I agree with Kim. When you have a touchy system what you put in it the day before matters. I used to keep my same diet (lots of vegetables) and have switched that out for long runs. Too much fiber....very unhappy tummy. Back in the days when I ran marathons, I could never use protein at a higher HR level. I am fine with SE on the bike, but would hesitate to use it on the run. I used to use Infinit like Kim, but switched to Carb Pro and supplemented with salt caps. So???? wanna share some more? |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So, sitting here drinking my Decaf Chai tea, and eating eggs with black beans, mushrooms, onion and salsa. Doing some sort of week long cleanse diet with Sam, no Dairy, no Caffine, no Sugar, for some reason oatmeal is off the list also. Mixed nuts, Bananna for snacks today. Chili for lunch, Looks like Salmon and fennel with roasted lemon vinaigrette for dinner(magazine article sitting out on the counter) Making me re-do breakfast, normally oatmeal with stuff in it, snacks, normally cliff bar, and lunch, normally some sort of frozen kashi type lunch. Should be interesting.

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Congrats on the first tri, Mike. Don't get down on yourself about your time -- just enjoy the experience. Nice run, Linda. Had a great set of workouts this weekend. Especially on Sat, when I did a brick of 1200 meters in the pool and then 30 miles on the bike including 8 hill repeats. Rode with my new power meter, and am still trying to figure out how to keep my effort steady because right now the graphs all look like an EKG of someone going through cardiac arrest, with spikes and dips. But it felt great to get out on the bike outside, but my legs are still feeling it.
Have been talked into doing a marathon in late April, and am getting nervous. I need to get my mileage up. Longest recent run is 10 miles. (I have not been logging them on BT because I log them in my Garmin software and on my Training Peaks account, and maybe I am lazy, but doing it 3 places is just too much for me.) And I have to figure out my nutrition in a hurry as well. Gonna look back at the last few pages, and the worksheets Suzy sent me, and then test them. But I am already nervous, since it is my first marathon. |

Is this by chance the reset I did a last week? Sounds oddly familiar.....Sprouted Grains are ok too. I fell in love with Food for Life English Muffins with a sniff of ghee. New pre work out food has worked well so far. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Suzy, thank you for the info. on Reset. I think the alkaline vs. acidic food very interesting concerning inflamation. Looking at the food list there are some surprises too...like bananas. Bananas are my pre and post workout food of choice but they are high in sugar too. The current diet of most people contains a lot of refined carbs and that puts the body in a more acidic state which is hard for the metabolism to keep neutral. It is not easy to eliminate all of those "convenient" items, but worth it to try to cut some out gradually. BTW those Food for Life muffins look really good.

Linda Personally, I wouldn't eliminate bananas if they are a good digestable food for you. I would shoot for a variety of fruits and vegetables to nail all key nutrients. If you want to get into an alkaline state on a regular basis eat spinach daily. It works well for me--smoothies, salads and steamed. PH paper will tell you if you're there. PS. Advil is very acidic....not sure you take it, but a lot of my friends do. They call it Vitamin I. |
