Hmmm. thats weird that you consider whatever food you eat in the am to run out and you run out of Energy. Your body has energy reverved. In other words if you burn 1000 cals on a 1 hour run and you only ate 250cals for Breakfast you not going to just conk out you got some energy in reserve. BUT...i am NO expert so i am learning along with the rest of you. Today i did a Duathlon. It was really about my limit. a 5k run with the first 1/2mile straight up hill. then a 30k bike ride that hade alot of hills then another 5k run on the same course. That second 5k run about killed me....but i made it. My time was 2hr 40mins. The winner was 1hr 40mins!!!!but he is a pro triathlete. But to go 2hrs 40mins at a high heartrate about did me in:)! But at least i know i can go that long. For Breakfast i had alot of Water and a banana. When i was finished i felt a lil dizzy and got some more fruit and i was fine.

I tried and tried and i could come up with nothing without getting too gross. A dairy crunch? A choclatte biscuit?

ok you caught me again

I am a fairly new runner (Sept 07) So i have ran a few 10k's and average about 20 miles a week. I would like to do the OshKosh half Marathon in April 09. I tend to put alot more effort into bikeing and swimming too as i like to do Triathlons. Jachut is a great runner and also Salsa on here is too. they might be able to help you.

Mal....Your doing great!!! keep it up..hang in there....last night it stopped storming around 8.30pm and i thought...hey ill run for a bit. Another 4 miles later i came home. The interval trainning with the Triathlete coach really helped me speed things up! Keep going everyone !!! Your all doing fantastic!!!! Soon youll be running like the wind!

HI Salsa!!!! HOw did it go? How are you feelin! I am loving my Nike plus!

Absoultly not!! I was overweight in high school and always the slow one. I liked the idea of competing and because i weighed do much i compted in things my body didnt hold me back like MotorSports. I want to try kayaking soon..I live right on Lake Michigan! But i have to buy a road bike first :biggrin2:

Well my friends i meet with a USA Team Triathlon athlete/coach last night and worked out with a group of 6 at our local highschool. We did interval running for an hour. I loved it. Going to make it a reg Weds night thing i hope.

awwwwww thanks!!!!! I sometimes get worried i am overtrainning but i just read an articule that it is actually VERY difficult to overtrain! So i was glaad to read it. Last night i meet a USA Team Triathlon Coach and worked out with him and 5 others at our local high school running track. We did interval trainning running. And i am learning how to speed up my swimming too.

I just put the worst pre pic of me ever on my sparkspage

Something really cool! I found there is a USA Triathlon Team Coach pro athlete in my town!!! He is also an USA swim Team coach. he charges like 500 bucks for 3 months but he does sessions every Wednesday night here for free. And he is just about 2 miles away from my house! How cool is that!

A big thing i noticed. buy one of those shinny ballons (spongebob or something) on your way over the helium ones) Tie it to your rack where your bike is. Makes it super fast to find your bike! I like to use a bucket with a lid on it so i can sit on it to get my shoes on if i need.

Thanks...i was just talkingto her and she said she really doesnt like me talking to ladies on here anymore...what the heck is up with that? I just need encouargement and i want to encouarge people. There arent many guys on here but i do have a few of them that are close to my weight and we try and push each other.

Phew i got some questions to repley to i see. Ok well first i use my mountain bike for Triathlons still...im dying to buy a road bike but i just cant get the funds together. I nearly bought some crappy 300 buck one but i want to wait untill i can get one for between $700-$1000. My wife is really getting insecure i think...i dont know for sure. Its not like women throw themselves at me but it is causing some problems. She doesnt like that i come on here an know ppl either. Yes shes banded. she struggling right now around 220. Its all due to ice cream and starbucks. And she doesnt exersise,.she says she would but she feels like there is no way to keep up with me. She is worried i am going to leave her :wink2:

thats super freaky about Stefs dates! She doesnt look at her sparkspage either.

yeah i bike too:) I train for Triathlons so i do a good bit of biking and plenty of Spin Class Now i dont normally go further than 30 miles tops. You want to feel jelly legs? Bike 20 miles and then try running! That gets some getting used to. I split my cardio between running, biking and swimming. And then put some weight lifting in there too. Some times i have even been know to Elipitikill.

Hmm my T1 and T2 were both waaaay high. It was pouring with rain and i wanted to change my shoes and socks which took alot of time. I wa in the 4min range. I sse ppl in 45seconds! MY 5k tie is down around 28 -29 mins now. MY bike time was good but a road bike would help i think. And swim is swim...i can swim fast it just depends on the temp. Now Duathlon is all diif. No clothing change needed at all. Just pop on the helmet. Jon is my name btw.

Amanda. I like it logs my runs and i can compete my ppl of my ability on the nike plus website. was $59. A fathers day present. :tt1:
