I am : RECOVERED
Sorry about that enormously self-aggrandizing photo of me. I'm trying to set it up so that my little mug appears when I make comments, etc...I had a bad week running-wise last week, primarily because of my weight training program. So, what does any good BFFM-er do? Adjust. And that's precisely what I did. I analyzed myself, my body, my responses, and took action. From now until the marathon I will not lift my legs other than light workouts. This probably isn't the best course of action, but I want to make entirely sure that my legs are fresh and willing to log the miles required for marathon training. After multiple different stabs at alternate nutritional intakes, I've come to the conclusion that losing this last little bit of body fat% won't be possible while I am training for the marathon. The stress that the miles are putting on my body is forcing it into a slowed metabolic state, which isn't ideal for fat loss. Also, I need tons of carbs which tend to slow fat-loss goals as well. I'm not worried though, I feel great. Once I complete the marathon I will rest, recuperate, evaluate, and begin a new phase in my nutritional/physical journey: Complete Cutting.
