Runners you are looking strong! Keep up the great work!
You have all come a long way just in these first two weeks. We ran a 5K last night and we are preparing for a 4-mile run on Saturday morning. Everyone seems to have found someone with a similar pace to run with in the group. Use that partner as motivation. The motivation, encouragement and friendly competition with a partner or group can do wonders for your performance. Race each other to the nearest stop sign. Challenge each other to a 30 second sprint. Give each other a little push (not literally, of course) when you are getting tired. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!
We will meet at 7:15 on Saturday morning. It's supposed to be around 40 degrees so don't forget your gloves!
We will be running Boston St to Fleet St to President St to E Lombard St to the ESPN Zone at the Power Plant. Come back the same way running past the club to Clinton St. Turn around and SPRINT to the end.

Could the trainers post a few nutritional tips for those in training? It would be great to know what to eat before a run for endurance, what to avoid eating prior to running and besides lots of water, do you recommend any sports drinks for fuel?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hello Tara! Great idea! Visit http://www.marathonrookie.com/nutrition.html on the Internet for some good tips!
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind, you have already been training for long periods of time. Taking two classes in a row is very taxing on your body too. With that said, At this point in your training, I do not think you need to do anything different than what you would do to prepare for 2 classes in a row. Whatever you would eat before Bags&Bosus followed by yoga should suffice. For now, just make sure you stay hydrated and eat a healthy diet rich in complex carbs, fruits, veggies, & lean proteins throughout the week.
When running in the morning it is important to watch what you eat the night before! Do not eat fried foods and limit alcohol consumption!
My favorite snack before a run, BANANNA!
Thanks Jacki! This is extremely helpful! :-)
ReplyDeleteMany people or magazines offer 'advice' and it's hard to know what works. This gives me a good template to work from!
