Hey Vee just a wee quick question I got my half marathon coming up in 3 weeks and was wondering what you eat for breakfast before you run?? Normally I have nothing and go first thing in the morning but have lately been running at night and its so much better and I think its coz I've eaten. So just wondering what you eat and how long before your run?? Thankies

I always eat before I run in the mornink, I have been eating sludge that has been a brekkie staple the last couple of months. Before that it was oats and protein powder. Maybe sludge and oats mixed would be good? You should eat something as you will be able to run faster and longer with food in you!

[Peachy]

Yeh I feel like I could run forever when I've eaten!! Yeh sludge sounds like a gud plan. And the oats. Kewl thanks Vee. I'm getting really nervous about it and I don't know why!!! :shock:

You'll be fine, just remember if you've trained for it you will be fine! The race is the fun part- the work is in the training beforehand! You've been running for awhile and are quite good at it so you'll do it and do well!

[runveerun]

Right then back into it after a few days off I'm feeling like a beached whale after 2 days off :shifty: I went and faced my fear and did legs today.

They still have a knackered feeling to them and when I lie down they have that tingling-pins and needles feeling in them still although it's been 6 days since Le Marathon.

Couldn't lift quite as much as I normally do but exhausted my leggies anywho.

FOOD SOURCE

M1: kit kat (don't ask :oops: )

M2: eggs, chicken

M3: sludge

M4: protein shake

Good to get back into it again and focus on weights, hoping to get some moar muscle a happening while keeping up some cardio to fight against Le Flab (and stay away from breakfast kit kats)

Breakfast kitkat - meh, you're human like the rest of us! Yesterday I had a scheduled high carb day, since hubby wanted to make pizza. I was allowed 2 slices. I had three plus a large bite of another piece, plus huge amounts of cheese that I picked at later on (another more accurate way of putting that would be 'shoveled into my mouth').

What exactly are your goals? I'm too lazy to read more than this page but I see something about marathon running?

5x5 is a great program that I suggest to a lot of people looking to get bigger/stronger, but if you're one of those runner types it may not be the best choice.
