MleighS84 “ I would say the same strategy for any type of training - lots of protein, runners need 50-75% more protein than none runners to rebuild muscles and promote recovery, chicken should be a staple - multi-grain pastas are easier to digest and restore the glycogen, sweet potatoes, mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries) for the antioxidants, oranges to ease some of the soreness (vitamin c) pretty much just eating healthy veggies, spinach, fruits, protein, whole grain cereals and pastas, almonds are a great snack - pretty eat small meals when your hungry and eat a decent meal after a long hard running session. If your doing a lot of running making sure to eat enough healthy foods is key - you shouldnt have any problem shedding a few pounds ”

jules “ Thank you!! Well, i finished slower than i hoped and feeling and like I could have kept going, because my sister got really really sick and we were in it together so i stuck by her to cheer her on through the finish, so I went a full minute maybe more per mile slower than I had trained, but Its great to cross the finish line and be excited for the next one :) I'm planning on doing the philly marathon as well! ”

jules “ hey thanks! sorry my response was so delayed!!
On sunday i finished my second 20 mile run..only 3 more weeks till my first marathon! but it was so great, i ran it with my sister who is part of a training group, so this guy drove around and would meet us at the 7 miles, 13 miles and 18 miles to give us water/gatorade so we didn't have to carry anything...now if only i could have that every time i do a long run! ”
