Loving these cookies also....

Agreed!

For increasing pace, what works for me is getting comfortable running a 5 mile distance at a quicker pace then I'm used to. I usually start the training at a 9 1/2 min/mile pace until I can run up to 5 miles comfortably. Once I'm at that level I push myself and start running at 8:45 min/mile. I most likely can only run…

BPI chocolate brownie or Chocolate cookie :) Or good old Optimum Nutrition Natural Whey Vanilla or Chocolate.

My rule for preworkout meals....1 hour prior for light snacks (banana, protein bar, etc.) and 2.5-3 hours for main meals.

Starting one.

Some comfy shoes and maybe an assessment on your running stride. Running long distance can be brutal on the knees as with an extra 100 lbs. I'm training my little brother and he's about 60 lbs overweight. I'm having him do weight training and the stationary bike or elliptical for cardio. When he sheds a good amount of…

Keeping people motivated is what I like to do! Add me if you like. And keep that focus strong. =)

Nope. Liquids (say a protein shake) can go through your digestive tract within that 1.5 hours. Solids take longer but even so, your body had 1.5 hours of breaking down those foods so it got some of the nutrients from your dinner. I sure hope you had your post workout meal tho haha.

No but if looks could kill....

Damn awesome job man! Way to stay focused and dedicated to achieve your goals. *applause*

I don't perceive it as cheating either. It's just that meal that has more "junk" than usual is just labeled ubiquitously as a "cheat" meal.

Just to share my last cheat meal a few weeks ago: Pizza tots (yes, pizza toppings - sausage and pepperoni- on top of tater tots!) and a 1/2 lb burger with bacon and avocado =)

I've recently come to realize that cheat meals (not necessarily the whole day) are a necessity to keep me sane. On a maintenance diet, clean eating and working out for weeks straight eventually makes me feel weak and lethargic. I do a combination of heavy lifts, HIITs, and long distance cardio. Doing cardio seems to be ok…

Haha I know what you mean! An hour before a workout is probably the only meal where my carb intake is that much higher than my protein intake.
-
Carb cycling is the way to go =)

I've been using Optimum Nutrition for over 10 years now but I like to keep different proteins on the side. May have to try this one.
-
True. And you can choose exactly what ingredients you're putting into your bar. Unsweetened almond milk, Optimum Nutrition Natural Whey, and all natural peanut butter for me =)
-
It's just for my pre-workout meal. Has enough sugars and carbs for quick energy for a strong lift session.

Ground turkey and quinoa meatballs =)
