Madcow's mentor group -CLOSED! (Page 8)

Hey guys, good to see you all still getting out there in sickness and bad weather

I am back from the soccer weekend. We move on to the next round, so we are back on the road next weekend.
I am going to run this week, so keep me honest

As for muscle recovery, I think the best thing is to get in 4:1 carbs to Protein and you will be fine. If you look, you will see that combo in a lot of things... peanut butter and jelly sandwich, chocolate milk, etc. I used to use Endurox R4, but have recently switched to Jay Robb's protein because the strawberry flavor tastes like Strawberry Quick.

For the beginning of my training I shied away from the recovery drinks because I didn't want the extra calories, but used it near the end of my training during the heavy load weeks.

Great work guys. I slacked off. I was going to run at lunch, then my coworkers were going to take me out for lunch for my birthday, but that fell through. I went out for lunch anyway. They are taking me out tomorrow, so no run tomorrow unless I run after work.

Thanks. I got in my run during my daughter's soccer practice last night.

Lifted this morning and will run at lunch today.

How are you guys doing?

My nutrition is coming along. i didn't gain a ton of weight over the weekend. And with traveling to soccer all weekend, that's pretty good. I am actually lighter this week than last.

Got in a 4 mile run with my coworker today. She used to be pretty slow, now she is kicking my butt. During the run she asked how I was doing. I said "fine as long as I don't have to talk or breathe during it"

have a great night guys

Yep.

Hey guys, sorry I have been a bit absent, lately. I usually do all of my posting at work, but I have actually been working at work... go figure. My nights have been crazy, so I am not getting on BT until weird hours.

So bare with me, I won't work at work too much longer

I m still alive.  Have rough week last week.  Didnt get much done.  I am currently in Mammoth for the next few days and then in Reno for the rest of the week.  I did do a 3 mile run this monring.  I will keep up with at least my cardio and weights workouts until i get back home.  So far I have had a few beers.  Pacing myself.  Hope all is well with everyone else.

I knew I was going to eat like a pig on Sunday, so I rode 2 hours throughout the day

How are you guys feeling? Are you ready for a challenge? I was thinking of a run challenge. Are you up for it?

Alright guys. Why don't we state what our goal is for the week. It could eith be in miles, minutes or just number of times running. It will go from today (Tuesday) until Sunday. If you are using a training plan, don't go over your plan's distance...unless you feel you can safely go over that distance. If you are not using a plan, then figure out how much you can do, then push it a little. You want to challenge yourself without hurting yourself.

I'll go first:

I am going to run 20 miles this week. I was originally going to go with a number of days, but that is't realistic as it seems like my priorities change every day. 20 miles will be a stretch, but I think I can do it.
