GOOD MORNING RUNNERS/JOGGERS!!

Just a quick thread start today .. heading off for a 5 day cruise with DH .. leaving today (Monday) and will be gone until Saturday. Can't wait to hit that jogging track onboard!

Recovering nicely after yesterday's terrific-ly HOT 15k .. feeling good though! Very happy to have finished it in 1:49:14 given the 90 degree heat at the end!

Have a great week of running! I'll post my miles as usual once we get on the ship!

My running has been pretty sporadic but am trying to do it when I can. I am still here reading all of your posts - I guess you can say I am living vicariously through all of you! Great job Sarah with all your weight loss - that is trully amazing! The half marathon will be a drop in the bucket for you. Betty - lucky you being on a Cruise ship and keeping up with your exercise - you go girl! Richx2 - keep on running and keep up the good work!

Re: Cool Running for the Week of May 7th to May 13th

I am assuming this is where we are to talk about how much we ran today. I ran for 40 min and walked for 5!

Forgive me if this is not the right place for questions about running and Atkins, I am new.

I am in pre-training so I can begin training for a marathon , hopefully you followed me. I start official training in July.

I have some questions. I hope you don't mind.

I recently began eating the Atkins way. Everything I read about as far as marathon training and running a marathon talks about how you must eat carbs and drink sports drinks, jells, to get through the long runs and marathon.

So what do you do on long runs? What do you eat before a long run?

Today is day 1 of a clean induction for the next 14 days. Then I will stay on induction until I loose 30 pounds. I feel like I have more energy on Atkins then before with all my carbs, but I am not doing any long runs, just building up my endurance at this point.

I am running/jogging/walking 5 min 40 min MWF and running/joggin 30 Min TTH with weight training on TTH. Is this okay on induction?

Re: Cool Running for the Week of May 7th to May 13th

I can answer this and so Can Betty she has run a Full on Low carb.

You don't need a ton of Carbs to run, your body needs to adapt to your new WOE you may find that for the first while you do feel lethargic and tired and can't get a very good run in. You body is adapting, as it adapts your body becomes accustomed to using it's own fat as Fuel, instead of relying on a glucose injection basically your body starts to efficently use it's own fat efficiently as fuel. I won't lie to you, for some this does not take long to adapt for others like me it took 3 months fo me to efficently run on low carb but, I can run no problem now without the ups and downs that carb loaders get. I feel as energized after my long runs as I felt before Just a lot more sore LOL.

As for me I usually try and eat 2 hours before I run. I eat a High Fat meal and also a Protein shake. This would consist of fried eggs, and sausage or Bacon and also some tomatoes and celery for my veggies. I can run for over 3 hours without needing anything when I run other then fluid after that I ahve to take a protein bar Low carb or some Mac nuts good for fats on your runs. Basically it comes down to training your body in a new way.

You'll do Fabulous.
