Until my first marathon. Surprisingly the training is going well, I've managed to crack out 20 miles on my little legs, and feeling optimistic!
However I'm one of those people, that doesn't like it when things are easy and I like to take the hard route, so never mind being my first marathon, I'm now setting myself a time goal to do it in.... Under 4 hours 30 minutes.
Doable? Not sure but I shall have a good crack at it!
Diet to pants
The main thing that will probably help me achieve this on top of my training is my diet. Surely as a personal trainer my diet is perfect...ish. maybe. not really. I eat LOTS. 80% of the time my diet is good, but I have a few slip ups that like anyone have now become a regular occurance. The occasional piece of cake, chocolate bar, biscuit here and there. Aswell as the alcohol.... WOOPS. My diet now resembles something more like this...
And this...
Guess what, I'm only human! So in order to get my time nice and speedy, I'm giving up alcohol and sugar once again! Similar to the no sugar experiment but not quite as restrictive, I can have sugary goods in the form of sports drinks and gels, aswell as a few bits of sweetner in my protein bars and shakes.
Generally the idea behind this is to get rid of the mentality of "I can eat whatever I want cause I'm going to burn it off" and back to "my body is a temple".
