So tomorrow morning I shall be getting up at the crack of dawn to run 20 miles.... desperate times call for desperate measures. Usually on a long run day I complete it in the late afternoon/early evening and have chance to stuff my face before.
This early morning hefty mileage is new to me and I'm not the type of person to crack out a full english at 5am, so I decided to shovel it in today instead. I literally rocked it out on the carbs...
I thought I would give you all a little insight into what a typical day of my diet looks like prior to a hard training day. My Carb loading today entailed....
Breakfast
1 Medium Orange, Handful of Strawberries and Blueberries, Handful of Cashew Nuts, 2 slices of wholemeal toast with crunchy Peanut Butter and a Protein Shake.
Training: Gentle 4.5 mile run
Post Workout Snack
Muesli Bar
Lunch
2 Tiger Bread Buns with Cheese and salad and a portion of chunky oven chips
Snack
1 medium apple, 1 Nectarine and a toffee cake
Snack
Protein Bar
Dinner
Wholemeal Pasta with Blue Cheese, Broccoli and Peas (MASSIVE portion)
Snack
Greek Yoghurt with Honey and Banana
Sounds like a lot and surely I'm going to end up looking like this....
The weight is literally dropping off me, so there's truth when they say eat more to loose weight guys (as long as you burn it off).
Another thing I NEVER thought would happen. I'm sick of the sight of food. When you spend most of the day shovelling it in, it gets very boring very fast. My last meal today resembled me looking more like this...
