For the last couple years, I could graze all day. Now, I wake up, run, get ready and go to work. Next thing I know it is 11:00 am, I've been up since 5 and haven't had a single calorie other than the cream in my coffee. Bad habit - I am starting to force myself to eat in the am....<BR/><BR/>Nice run today!Mindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243284561562821997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21893989.post-86298438436227786422008-08-29T11:47:00.000-07:002008-08-29T11:47:00.000-07:00Normally, I would have done this on the roads/trai...Normally, I would have done this on the roads/trails, using my garmin for pacing, but I couldn't think of any direction in Northern VA to go where it isn't hilly (and bad for my knee). (On the other hand we're blessed with great trails around here.)<BR/><BR/>There is actually a track ~2k away as I recall, which is just about perfect for a warmup. Probably should have done that, but I'm not sure about whether the high school uses it at that time of the morning (6-6:45) and didn't want to take the chance.<BR/><BR/>Of course counting calories is the answer, but it's just so damn hard! Running hours in the rain is cake by comparison.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906887432976179964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21893989.post-8304761981985646862008-08-29T11:33:00.000-07:002008-08-29T11:33:00.000-07:00Calories: I'm putting in some heavy mileage again ...Calories: I'm putting in some heavy mileage again and am having my weight settle btw 160-161 most days...I've been avg about 3000-3100 calories, all in about 5 or 6 smaller meals throughout the day. I use calorie-count, others use fit day--whatever works for you. But you'll need to get a sense of your intake vs your output over the course of weeks.<BR/><BR/>Once there, I'd say run no more than a 500 calorie a day deficit (1 lb. a day; any more, you'll get hurt). That said, with a lingering injury, your body needs to calories to repair itself, so take heed if you're dinged.<BR/><BR/>Per the MP ints, it takes a lot of will-power to do them on a .1 track--is there anyway to do them on a marked path, the roads, the tmill, or a HS track? That's a lot of turning (which slows you down), but more importantly, that's added stress on your knee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
