There isn't too much to mention today especially with me being in this taper. Today I just ran a very easy 5/6miles which I think is around the theme I'm going to continue now, maybe find a speed session somewhere and about 12 miles on the weekend but it's all pretty easy now, time to heal! On the plus side this spare time has given me a chance to get my personal training course work done.
Last couple days has also seen me eating well so the rest is will definetly benefit me and to be honest I can just feel myself starting to recover all ready so hopefully by the weekend I'll be feeling good. I find good nutrition makes me feel so much better and I really notice it when I have a couple days of eating junk. My nutrition for today is below:
Breakfast: approx 50g oats, chopped banana and kiwi with about 200/300ml milk. mug of herbal tea, pint of water. This is my morning meal more or less every morning.
Post workout: Small bowl of maple and pecan oaty cereal with some milk and a handfull of raisins.
Lunch: Big Sweet Potato, brocolli, carrot, runner beans with a good size chicken breast with plenty of herbs and spices involved.
Afternoon (over the whole afternoon): 2 bananas, 40g cashews, some figs and dried fruit from my graze box.
Evening meal: Couscous salad with a can of tuna with all sorts of spices to make it interesting and some salad cream. Tuna is so much nicer with a little salad cream :)
Looking at that, it's fine considering I'm not training very hard at the moment. Except for the 17mile I did the other day its been low miage recovery since thursday.
I will probably eat on these lines now until a week wed or thurs where I'll start to carb load where usually nothings off the radar, but I'm going to try and keep it 70/15/15 with the bulk being complex carbs with a little simple sugars involved like buns, rice pudding, snickers (but not too much :s) and malt loaf. Nutts are easy calories to but low on fat but give a decent protein hit and good on the fat. The rest I try to load on wholemeal pittas in the toaster between meals.
Something different tonight but hopefully interesting.
Personal training blog as well as my own training and nutrition blogas lots of people have started asking me questions about my training and nutrition, how, why and when, what etc - il try and keep updates of training, nutrition and keep it open for any questions and advice. Also my training is not perfect and I'm always learning but it's just what I'm currently doing to live for the adventure and the next challenge!
