 <\/p>\n

My two weeks of resting after the Berlin Marathon are over. \u00a0No more playing around. \u00a0It’s time to buckle down and get to work.<\/p>\n

100 mile training is now officially underway!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is what my training is going to be looking like the next few months:<\/p>\n

Sunday: A “short” long run. \u00a0This run will average 10-15 miles.<\/p>\n

Monday: Usually a 10K<\/p>\n

Tuesday: Rest Day<\/p>\n

Wednesday: LONG long run. This week is my first long run of the training session and it will be a 20 miler. \u00a0These runs will progressively get longer. \u00a0I think(?) they max out at about 35 miles?<\/p>\n

Thursday: \u00a0Medium long run: \u00a0This run will be 5-10 miles shorter than the long run the day before. \u00a0This week it will be 12 miles.<\/p>\n

Friday: \u00a0Rest Day<\/p>\n

Saturday: Short, easy run.<\/p>\n

This is going to be some intense training. \u00a0To be able to maintain these kind of miles, I need to make sure my diet is giving me the stuff I need.<\/p>\n

CARBS: \u00a0These are not bad things. \u00a0These are a runners best friend. \u00a0They are your fuel! \u00a0They are important. \u00a0I will be needing to eat a lot of carbs~Quality carbs. Not junk.<\/p>\n

PROTEIN: \u00a0This is also super important. \u00a0The Protein is going to help your body repair what you are doing to it during your training.<\/p>\n

Carbs are pretty easy to cover. \u00a0You of course have your pasta. \u00a0You can go for bread but I’m not a big bread fan. \u00a0Rice. \u00a0Peas. Corn. Potatoes…all sorts of tasty options for carbs.<\/p>\n

Protein? \u00a0This is a sticky subject. \u00a0See, I believe in REAL food. \u00a0I’m not a fan of the protein bars and shakes or powders. \u00a0Those things are outrageously expensive! \u00a0Lean meats are great sources of protein. \u00a0Eggs are an awesome protein source…and they’re cheap!<\/p>\n

Eggs can get boring real fast. \u00a0I need to zip up eggs no matter how I eat them. \u00a0See, if I can see the white of an egg, I gag and I can’t eat them. \u00a0NASTY!!! \u00a0I have to disguise them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This weekend I mixed up some onions, mushrooms, fresh jalapenos and sun dried tomatoes. \u00a0I’ll scramble a few eggs (NO egg whites showing, thank you!) mix in some of this and toss in a bit of shredded cheddar…tasty stuff! \u00a0Filling, too!<\/p>\n

That is what my life is going to be for a while. \u00a0Running and eating.<\/p>\n

Happy Running, all!!!<\/p>\n
