One: NO you do not need to eat that extra cookie, scoop of peach cobbler, second scoop of ice cream and rice cakes with peanut butter and honey to "carb load" the night before. Haha I was just reading a really interesting article on the correlation of weight gain and marathoners in training. It's so easy to say oh a little extra here and there will help and wont hurt.... Did last night over indulgence hurt me? sadly my stomach was full and uncomfortable, I felt heavy and sluggish this morning..... At least I know now that It's better to eat balanced and not overcompensate...... if you do it could slow you down and well all know thats NO fun!!
Two: Breathing..... Yikes! I'm pretty sure people in their houses could hear me breathing this morning! True I can run at a steady pace without becoming breathless, but hill repeats at 80% goodness I sounded like Darth Vader! haha I aksed my coach how to deal with this terrible problem. He suggested its not just a physical thing its also very mental.... realize you are running, running isn't you! haha that doesn't make any sense but it sounded alright in my head ahha!! GOTTA improve!
Well now I am heading to work!
My WorkOut ReCap:
6x Hill Repeat @ Tempo (80%) This took about 30 mins including a warm-up and cool down.
If you want running friends.... pack mints (:
This picture is smaller than the rest....probally because it was taken before 6am and I kinda look like well a crazy runner girl.
Little walk after my crazy workout!
