started low carb in may 08...lost 65 lbs in about8 mos....have kept it off and yesterday ran my 1st 5k run,finishing in 27 min 8 sec...came in 52nd out of 115 runners.
How do you guys train? I would love to be a runner but since beginning LC in August of 2008, I barely have the energy for it. Before that I did fairly well. No competitions but I ran daily about 3 miles or more. I can handle walking but the running seems too much. Any suggestions?
personally i have more energy now than i ever had before.i do eat a little fruit now,grapes and cantalope and on race days i'll treat myself to a banana!!!lol.by the way where in wv are you ?i've ran 2 races in huntington
Huntington! Which did you run? I can't seem to work up the nerve to enter. I have a fear of not finishing or coming in last. Not the most confident person in the world!
What do you eat before your runs normally? I can see a banana on race day. Apparently it isn't killing you! Congratulations on your time. That is fantastic!
i ran the mu alum run and the prestera run for recovery,that one was in the pouring rain..i always just eat a some grapes and a half a banana on race morning..very little before running..you should try one its the best feeling when you cross that finish line
