So I'm in week 3. My legs aren't so dead today.
3 mile run: 27:03.
Not a fast run, not a slow run. Working on form still, and nutrition has slipped just a bit - need to make sure that breakfast is substantial enough to keep my stomach from screaming at me at 5 p.m.
After the run I went to the boxing gym and did a core workout. My abs have been really sore from the mileage - I'm surprised by how much work abs do during runs.
I feel good, with a bounce in my step. My legs aren't breaking down during the runs anymore. I'm happy I put down a shake before the workout. I was worried about bonking when I first started but it turns out to be an issue of diet.
I have a very active metabolism and I can underestimate it from time to time. When I'm just starting to feel hunger coming in, I need to eat. When I wait until I'm hungry, I can put down too much food. Feed the beast - in this instance, I'm the beast.
Tomorrow is another run day. Going to bed to get some rest. Nutrition and recovery. Diet and rest.
