Food For Thought

I knew there were going to be some aspects of marathon training that would be foreign. Take running, for instance, I know how to run. You run and then you eventually reach your destination. But not for marathon training, with short running at intensity 7-8 or medium runs at intensity 6 or Fartlek runs or hill training. All different and all necessary, some to a larger degree than others.

One part of training I did not consider as much as I am now, Diet! Diet is important and I would severely discredit my degree (Food Science and Human Nutrition) if I didn't alter my diet to reflect my training. I did not foresee the extent that I would need to alter my diet. I am glad I am realizing this now because I can see myself going from lean and fit to emaciated quickly. Don't worry family and friends, I will make sure to eat up. Just some food for thought (I love when blogs come full circle).
