Bikini running

Cate · 05-20-2003, 01:43 PM

Hey all! I've been lurking through everyone's diaries for a couple of weeks and have learned a ton! Thanks especially to Julie, Jenny, Jodi....and many others!

My problem is....I am, as of today, starting my training for a 1/2 marathon over Labor Day. I ran this last year, so I have a goal to beat

. So, I do lift still, but my program will be different and I will need more carbs than what is normally perscribed here, but I WANT RESULTS!!!!

So, here are my stats:
weight - 128
height - 5'6"
bf% - 30.5 (hussman) 25.1 (caliper book) either way

I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian who eats fish.

Would love any help!!!!

Cate how long have you been eating this? If its only been recently, please post what your daily meals looked like up until now.

Cate · 05-21-2003, 08:29 AM

OK...let's see if I can answer all these questions - you guys rock

dg806-if I can pull if off w/everyone's help here, I will run in a bikini!!!!

xero-I have never done speed work, but it's in my new schedule. I could send it to you if you want, would love any feedback

OK...Jodi-no, I've started eating better, but I still slip (like yesturday) and eat too many carbs. But, am I suppose to eat more carbs since I'm running? But then I get hungier....

anyway, here we go. I will post random days from my diary.

Banana and cereal/soy milk
veggie burger/soy chz and sm. pita
ff pudding/gram crackers
alcohol

Banana and skim latte
green salad w/shrimp and ff cesar dressing
edamame/sushi
wine

toast and edd beaters
granola bar
protein shake
salad w/ ff dressing
brocoli/rice/tuna burger and apple
ff pudidng and g. bar

Does this help?
New goal is to cut the junk food and sugary carbs

Cate · 05-21-2003, 08:31 AM

Oh and here were my last two meals yesturday:

meal 5
cereal and soy milk
toast w/1T pb

meal 6
spinach and egg beaters
2-fig newmans (ff)

Run - 3 miles

xerosaburu · 05-21-2003, 09:42 AM

For a half-marathon to do repeat miles.

To improve speed you'll need to improve your lactate threshold.

What this means is that by running at speeds at or above your race-pace goal you'll create lactate and your body learns how to dispose of it more effectively.

Without that invasion into lactate buildup there's no way you can really build up your speed for a half-marathon.

Weight lighting can help with the final kick or if you're training for 5k's and less, but nothing but mile repeats will do for a half.

**Jodi** · 05-21-2003, 09:52 AM

Due to your low protein intake we would like to start you with the following.

6 meals per day space 2.5 - 3.5 hours apart

25 P 25 C 10 F - meals 1, 3 and 5
25 P 05 C 10 F - meals 2 & 4 (carbs from berries only)
25 P 00 C 10 F - meal 6

Cals: 1480
150 P
85 C
60 F

Once you have SLOWLY worked your way into this plan and have adjusted we will then tweak it and make an increase in your protein. Between the eggs, fish, protein powder and cottage cheese you should be fine reaching your protein requirements.

***Drink 5-6 Liters of water a day.*** Very Important

Use the shopping list in the sticky on the Diet and Nutrition Forum for ideas. You can always check out journals for meal ideas as well.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be here.

Do you have any suggested 1/2 marathon programs? I have combined hal higdon and cool Running, but I'm not sure I really know what I'm doing. I will post my runs here, so maybe you could check them??

Thanks for the info!

Cate · 05-21-2003, 10:56 AM

Thanks Jodi - that helps a ton!

So...at the risk of being

.....do you believe in free days/meals? How many, how often. I've been taking Sat. off. This usually means that I drink on Sat and eat one bad meal.

What is your take?

**Jodi** · 05-21-2003, 10:58 AM

Cheats are very rare and I tend to save mine for special occasions. Birthdays, family gatherings, holidays etc.

Also, no cheat days

Only cheat meals. Dejavu

Julie7Ulie · 05-21-2003, 11:31 AM

Hey no cheat days!

(you sound like me)

We all have to stick together here!

However, I had this vivid dream that I was walking around chewing brownies and then spitting them out. (Just a dream, Jodi, I swear! )

It was great

Cate · 05-21-2003, 01:37 PM

That's cool.....I really don't have cheat days or binge days, just dinners/drinks out once a week.

I am chugging water like I never have before!

Also, about to make a carrot cake

for my bf's Mom's b-day this weekend and cookies! Lucky for me, I don't like chocolate, but carrot cake...a whole 'nother story!
