Marathon Monday

Marathon Training has begun and I am so excited to share this journey with you! We are just sixteen weeks out! I have changed my diet a lot recently to start to prepare for my marathon. I feel like I am eating all the time but I know in the long run it will be worth it! (No pun intended) What am I eating you might ask? 

Here is what a basic day is like for me. 

Breakfast - Protein Bar 

Morning Snack - Greek Yogurt 

Lunch - Grilled chicken salad with veggies - little or no dressing. 

Afternoon snack - Fruit 

Dinner - Brown rice, meat, veggies.

Evening snack - banana sliced with almond butter frozen

Also lots and lots of water Gatorade and energy gels on days with long runs! 

I downloaded this app on my phone called "Run Trainer" to help me train for my marathon. So far it has been great! When you sign up it allows you to choose how many times you want to run a week and what day you want your long run to be on. It is very flexible and that is what I love about it! 

What about you? Anyone else planning on running a race anytime soon? 

Until next time, 

Janelle
