Fair enough I am on a recovery week but I am struggling to get out the door with family commitments etc. and work. I still cannot believe I ran a PR half marathon last weekend right when I was meant to according to my training schedule. How did I do this? Maybe because I have knocked sugar off the starting block that when I take it running it actually gives me fast fuel as to always eating sugar and the body not feeling any different when I take it during a race. Maybe it is because I have managed to shed a few pounds. Maybe it is because I have incorporated a few treadmills workouts which I never do when training for a marathon. Maybe it is a combination of factors and still eating no grain unless it is part of my running fuel on run days. Whatever it is I am in love with this feeling.
Now comes the nitty-gritty of the training program. The next couple of weeks will be the hardest but that is what is supposed to happen. I have to stay focused and hang in there. Keep up the good work with the nutrition. Stay hydrated with water as the weather is getting warmer. I can do this.
