Vee's Journal

[startinfromscratch]

Went to run 10km this morning and it turned into 14km.

At first I thought they might have been injured as they were running the same pace as me

youre too modest Vee, 14ks :shock: id be dead.. and on a clean diet! well done :clap:

:ditto: - and if I tried to run 14k right now, I can tell you that the ambo should be sent to the 10.0001km mark - almost exactly an hour after I set off... much respect to you :clap:

Gee Vee you're so inspiring! I'm sitting here half asleep as I was a Maid of Honour at a wedding yesterday and it was a BUSY day and night. Today is meant to be my cardio day and I am sitting here scrolling through journals trying to find some motivation to get off my ass and go to the gym. My current excuses are 1. im too friggen tired 2. its too friggen cold 3. i dont friggen want to 4. why friggen should i 5. its too friggen hard and I havent come up with a 6 7 or 8 yet but I'm working on it real hard

Thanks Debsize! It's hard when it's so cold outside, but I just make myself do it, or blackmail myself PLUS my trainer will ask me tomorrow what I ran today and I'll be in the good books! :grin:

Does anybody know what I should eat after a big run? A mixture of carbs and protein? Would fast releasing carbs be better??? I have a feeling I read somewhere white bread and jam is the best?

[Loochi]

10K run!! farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr what a machine...

Good you are inspired to go harder now man. Go hard Vee!!!!!!!!!!

I normally just have a protein shake with no carbs 30 mins after

[Gym rat]

10k run wow normaly what I do when I finsh training I just skull back a protein shake with no carbs.

[startinfromscratch]

re carbs, up till now ive ben having dextrose and a double-shot of whey after weights, and after cardio just a single shot of whey. but over the weekend i read an article on bbing.com about the negative aspects of having high gi carbs pwo, and im convinced enough of the article to stop having the dex after weights. theres a link to it in todays entry in my journal if your interested, it makes very interesting reading! (imo)

Good work on the run, tho... and the article that Startinfromscratch refers to does make for interesting reading...

Great thanks SFS I will read the link, I only have isolate at the mo, which is faster absorbing but this should still be ok huh? I think if I eat while out on 10km+ runs I'll feel better after and not so bloody hungry!!!

Good work on the run, tho... and yes, I'd have thought fast-acting carbs and a protein shake would be the go... often, something like this might be what you need?

oooo Camelbak sale!! nice!!!! Good excuse to buy a new one I LOVE torpedo 7 have spent most of my wages last year on that site!!! I just got some more energy gel today but they sent me the wrong ones so I'm too scared to eat them as I will then have to buy them and I want the ones I ordered more!! Enduro looks good tho, similar to gels but in liquid form, could maybe fill the camel bak up with it? Thanks TFB!!

[teamfatboy]

Damn you're quick - I edited my post to add in Startinfromscratch's article but you beat me to it!

I've used that Leppin as a source of dietary maltodextrose, and a similar product from Mark Inglis' company during long rides (>100km) - but not so much for post-race recovery.

isolate will be perfect for after your run. as for during your run, yep thats a personal preference, imo if you can spare the moolah, some bcaa powder for your drinking water would be beneficial?? Also i see you have casein, thatd be good for before your run, would keep your protein up while your on the go..

of course all of this is alotta protein! :grin: :shifty:

hee hee fast Vee huh?! yeh I just bought Balance gels as they are the cheapest, I did make my own last year and got absolutely sick of the taste. GU is my favourite but they just so damn expensive @ $4.50 a pop. Thanks for the links and info TFB!

I just ran outta casein I am eating cottage cheese instead at the mo, BCAA would be good yeh I will look at getting some. I am scared of losing muscle during long runs so protein before would be a good idea, I just wonder how my tummy will feel?! Yay for lots of protein! thanks SFS!
