180 Days to Marathon!!!
Ah, the start of a new week, the hope that things will get easier, and a day of rest and relaxation.
First, a re-cap.
Last week:
3 runs
2 hours
7 miles.
Meh, not great, but I am just getting started. I think my initial 4 mile run through off the training a bit but it will be interesting to see how fast I can do it after a month of training.
My biggest difficulty is maintaining good nutritional habits.
This website has been helpful in reminding me how many carbs, proteins, and fats I should be ingesting.
To maintain your current weight, you should consume 2266 calories per day. According to the USDA, that number of calories should be broken down as follows:
USDA Daily RDI Calories/Day Grams/Day 60% Carbohydrates 1360 340 10% Proteins 227 57 30% Fats 680 76
This site tells me that marathon trainers should really aim for 65% carbs, 25% proteins, and 10% fats. I think that will be the one I follow.
Here is my sample meal plan:
3 cups of coffee with non-fat creamer
Cheese and egg-white sandwich or bagel
bowl of oatmeal with raisins
turkey, cheese, tomato on wheat.
well...
spaghetti with ground beef and parm cheese
Edamame!
BROC
Sweet potato!
And 2 beers. :)
