Also just like to point out, first day on banana ban, felt overall MUCH better. I even had alot of 2% milk, which didn't cause anything. Felt really good in my morning session & my evening session.

Some possibly interesting info about Kipchoge, the stuff about cramping & stomach issues:
This is exactly the stuff I need to figure out.. I mean, in a race setting, cramping is such a bummer, because it prevents me from pushing myself to the limit & trying to keep up with these faster people. I just really need to figure it out better. Last year during my 5k PR spree, I cramped in like 2 out of 6 races (I think). Still too much.. because I ALWAYS worry about it. I'd rather figure all of this out, and not worry at all.
Working on it..

running_analysisNUTRITION OF ELIUD KIPCHOGE BEFORE A MARATHON - TIPS
" The day before the marathon, he will focus on taking on carbohydrates and will avoid eating meat to prevent stomach issues – “I like to eat rice, spaghetti or ugali the day before a marathon” Ugali is a maize / cornmeal based staple which is high in carbohydrate and a popular dish in Kenya – perhaps one of the small but many reasons that the nation excels so much in endurance running."
🍲
"The night before a marathon, Eliud will drink a bottle of Etixx Energy Load in order to top up his glycogen stores before he goes to sleep, ensuring he has sufficient energy available in the morning. “I only have a light breakfast on the morning of a race, just some tea and plain bread, as I can’t take a lot of food on. I will drink another bottle of Energy Load around 3 hours before the start of the race, no later – as I don’t want to be stopping for a toilet break whilst I’m running!”"
🍗
"Eliud believes that rest and recovery is just as important as putting in hard training sessions, “after a hard training run or a marathon race, – I will have a Recovery Shake within 30 mins after, then I will relax and perhaps also eat a Recovery bar an hour later.”"

« on: October 10, 2017, 09:13:17 pm »Since I am half kenyan, I recognise some of those foods: mandazi - nice sweet doughy thing I eat in the morning sometimes on sundays. We eat this with bharazi - has some type of peas (gungo peas i think).
This is the kenyan's equivalent food to that of jamaica's, they have yam, we have casawa. kenyan's have more range of high super carb foods. Especially the thing that looks like mash but it's not it's flour.
Nice! Thanks for the info! It's nuts that the only thing I actually understand on there is "yam". Never had any of the other stuff.
I'm very interested in how Kenyans (in Kenya) eat for their training, for a few reasons:
1) They put in crazy mileage per week (120+ miles) with 2 sessions per day usually
2) They have to know what they are doing, to avoid cramping, feel great, train properly, etc
3) I feel like my "structure/physique" is more similar to there's, so what they do kind of resonates more with me
4) They aren't "invaded" by fast food & processed foods etc (I imagine), so their diet seems more traditional, and with a running culture, this has to have been passed down for many generations, so I imagine it's very efficient/effective for them
One thing i'm going to look more into, is this tea with massive amounts of sugar & some milk thing .. ie what kind of sugar, how much, etc. I recall someone explaining it, maybe even that article, but just going to look into it more. I feel like the "high sugar" diet makes me feel amazing for running/sprinting etc, so tea+small amount of milk+lots of sugar in one drink might be a nice kick .. I drink tea, milk, and get sugar from lots of other sources, just not in the same drink.
peace!!

felt really good physically, a bit tired mentally. goal was 3 x 1 mile under 6 min/mi, so knocked that out. Didn't look at my watch for the first 2 miles, which was cool. Had no idea what I was going to hit the first mile, so when I saw 5:37 i was happy. For the third mile I looked at my watch because I wanted to hit 5:59.
i'm also going to cut bananas out of my diet .. i think they might be contributing to bloating me up recently. I've been eating more lately and, the last few days, immediately after eating 1 or 2, my stomach would start freaking out.. Really sucks though, love bananas. Going to see if cutting them out helps.
Also felt really good fasted.. which is pretty cool. Getting better at running in the morning without any immediate sugar/food in me.
workout: track with GFLRRC: (FORGOT MY WATCH): 1 mile warmup, 10 x 400m alternating ~80-85s with 70-75s with ~75-90s standing recovery
one of the few times i've ever forgotten my watch, feel naked without it! strapped my phone to my arm but, I really hate how that feels.. so just took it off and said F it, run with nothing. I got my pace off of the guy I was running with. Felt really good.
we planned on doing 16 x 400 but there was a JV football game that was about to start, so we got to 10 before they started the game.
The other GFLRRC folks did 5 x 1 km.. since I did 3 x 1 mi earlier today, I wanted to do the 400m workout.

« on: October 09, 2017, 10:07:47 pm »
I'm starting to think bananas are wrecking me.. A few times lately, before or after a run, shortly after eating bananas, I can feel/see my stomach bloating up.
Last night & today are what "sealed the deal" .. after my race yesterday, no bananas. Just lots of other sugar etc. Anyway, by the time I did my evening run, I was crazy explosive. I felt very good. The crazy thing is, my stomach felt very empty, flat, and almost hunger pain-ish early on (then it disappeared), yet I was so reactive/loose/relaxed, it was a great feeling. Got home, had a banana + milk + coconut water, started getting a little bloat. Today I wakeup, very light bloat, but definitely some there.
Anyway, I do my recovery walk with light runs mixed in, feel great by the end. Get home, feel really good. I have 2% milk + 2 x bananas and immediately, stomach started bloating up.
Shortly after, I had a sweet potato, avocado, and eggs .. and my stomach started to become more comfortable.
Not sure but, it seems like lately, bananas are causing something.. It could be the milk, bananas, combo of bananas + milk, etc .. but for some reason I think it's the bananas. One other reason I think it's bananas, when I ate 6 one night, I could barely sleep. Mind/body was "racing". Stomach was uncomfortable. Obviously 6 bananas is alot, but it's just a "gut feeling" right now that bananas are wrecking me.
Going to cut out bananas for a few days & see what happens.
Banana boycott experiment started today @ ~7 PM. Curious to see how I feel.
edit: #BANANABAN
My gut could also be getting wrecked from all of the miles i'm putting in .. but there's just something else going on, something(s) i'm eating that are causing it to freak out more lately. It got really bad around the 6th and has been freaking out alot since then. Lots of banana intake this last week.
ok ok.

nice!!
Quote
one difference between her and my ex, who i was with for 5+ years, is that my ex was a lot more like me: super emotionally self-contained and protective. current gf wears a lot more on her sleeve, has a lot more anxieties and less of the kind of deep self-confidence that my ex and i both have. and that's good for me, because it forces me to be more sensitive and to give more. ex and i never, ever fought, and so i was always holding back a little. she challenged me in some ways but not emotionally. like i can remember two serious arguments we had between the first time we hooked up and the day we broke up.
interesting.. and ya i presumed just by some of the photos and her "snowflake" name that she's more emotional/emotions on sleeve.

one of the things i love about current gf is that she lets me know if something i'm doing makes her feel bad. sometimes i think she's not being fair, but then she listens if i want to justify myself.

« on: October 09, 2017, 12:09:17 pm »Nice man! Maybe it was better you didn't have much competition given the weather conditions and not having any races in you.
For me personally, i'd rather have had someone to race against. I mean, the cramp would have wrecked me (if I got it) and i'd have probably not been able to hang after 2 mile or so, but there's one thing I love about horrible conditions, in my head I feel it evens out the playing field a bit. So, if some 17/18:XX'r was there, I know he'd be feeling it maybe even worse than me, since I love shitty weather. Last year, my first race back was the 9/11 run, so a month earlier than this race, conditions were nearly as bad, but not as bad as yesterday. Yesterday morning, and the night prior, my glasses would fog up completely just walking outside with them: serious humidity.
My dad is similar. He beats young guys all of the time in the 4.0 tennis division. He'll get killed in the first set, then he'll beat them the next two. Because the weather conditions are just so hot/humid, that his opponents fade like crazy. He *never* fades. It's incredible. lmao. I mean even when I was playing tennis with him, i'd be completely soaked, fading a bit, and he'd be 100% fine, no problem. He considers the first set a warm up usually. Sometimes his opponents actually retire too, because they are on the verge of heat stroke or something, wrecked. hah.

I know they had the Scranton marathon yesterday and it was wet, super humid and close to 80 degrees. So many people didn't finish or had to receive medical treatment even the top ranked woman didn't finish. The Kenyan who finished in 1st said it was one of the worst races he's ever ran. I think it's mostly the humidity, extremely draining and makes it difficult to breathe even when you're walking around. Can't imagine running distance in that sort of weather.
damn!! ya heat + humidity = the destroyer of runners.
i'm used to the humidity, having grown up in S.FLA my whole life. I think that's why you never see any TOP marathoners come down for the MIA marathon etc (there's probably also not enough money in it).. No one wants to look bad in the heat/humidity. You never see people breaking 15 minutes in 5k's either.. rarely do you see 16's.
it's funny how, around here, everyone comes out of their caves once it starts cooling off.. run/race season is like November through January, lmao! I mean elite marathoners, many of them, train at high altitude but, the humidity is low and it's cool.. I could have probably beat Kipchoge yesterday at this 5k
One thing I know, is once it cools off, I feel even better having fought through the summer heat etc.. usually get an enormous "boost" once the conditions are nearly optimal.

That's some major weight loss in 6 hours for sure. Sometimes, and I don't know if this was the case with you, I feel like the anxiety before competitions makes our bodies work harder and possibly burn more energy/ hold less water. Maybe and more probable that's some major bro- science on my part lol.
definitely man.. the uncontrollable "nerves/excitement", makes me drop more water and empty out my GI (a nice way of putting it).
for as far back as i can remember, i've always had to go to the bathroom way too much, before any competition, whether it was basketball, boxing, running, important dunk sessions etc. I embrace the "nerves" side of it, I recognize i'm much more powerful, explosive, focused, amp'd up etc. I hate the bathroom side of it. HEH!!
also, when i go for those long walks in the hot sun, i'm usually bundled up (long sleeve shirt, high socks, sun blocking hat, even a thick sweat shirt many times).. people must think i'm nuts.
just saw this on the race i'm signing up for:

Heat Warning: Temperatures/humidity can be high in South
Florida. Participants should drink plenty of fluids (non-alcoholic)
for 48 hours prior to, during and upon finishing the race. Beware
of heat-injury symptoms (dizziness, no sweating, nausea, cramps,
redness, incoherent speech and thoughts). Seek immediate
assistance if symptoms occur. Wear loose, light-colored clothing
lul.
peace!!!
