Marathon Training - Tomorrow

Saturday

It is one  day  before the marathon.  Todays run was one mile just to make sure the legs still work.  It was a brisk 32°F, which is about what it is suppose to be tomorrow morning. For the rest of today I'm just going to be taking it easy.  For breakfast, it was just some simple bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs.  We made some biscuits and gravy for the kids to go along with it.  Right now I am drinking a hot chocolate made with coconut mik and relaxing.


If you want to follow my progress during the race you can use the app on the following link. You can track me by my bib number, which is 301.

Remember you are capable of achieving far more than you ever think possible.  Challenge your limits.

Or just come and cheer me on at the finish line at Bass Pro.  I should be finishing around  noon to 12:30.

Tuesday -Lunch

We went out for lunch today and I ordered a Steak House Salad.  I would estimate it 3-4 cups salad, 6 oz. steak and ranch dressing.  Sometimes the problem with eating out is figuring out all the macros.  I estimate it to be around 600 -800 calories

Marathon Training - Week 2

Monday - Rain Today started week 2 of marathon training.   Today was a speed work day. On the schedule for today, was 3 sets of 1 mile runs at my 5K race pace. I did some stretches this morning before running which seemed to aggravate my ankle just a little.  Just for a little added challenge, it was raining with a blowing wind today.  It was a fairly warm 72F, so at least it wasn't a cold rain. I find that running in the rain helps your mental game by training your mind to deal with adversity.  It also helps you boost confidence. Suddenly when your the only one out running and you don't see any of the normal people you see out running you feel all the more like the toughest runner. For lunch, I had keto nachos made with pork rinds, hamburger, mozzarella cheese, and sour cream.  For dinner, we had pot roast and broccoli.

Marathon Training - Week Three

Sunday - Rest Day This week the milage jumps up.  On Monday and Wednesday I'll be running six miles and on Tuesday and Thursday five miles. Then on Saturday it will be 12 miles.  There may be some sweet equity involved this week. In any case today is a rest day.  So, this evening I will just be doing some stretching to get the muscles relaxed for this week. For lunch today I had steak and eggs and then afterwards are a few pecans.  If all goes as planned this should be my only meal for the day. Marathon training does require you to be extreme.  But it does requires daily consistency to slowly building up your endurance to achieve the extreme. Remember to Keep Calm and Keto On!
