I find I perform better if I eat most the calories for a long run within about 12 hours before. Then, after some calories for recovery, I try to get a moderate deficit afterwards. Also, for better performance, eat at the same calories during a taper as during training to provide a natural carboload for the race.

Some high protein, low calorie vegan foods: firm chinese style tofu - 0.85 calories per gram, ca. 10% protien boca burgers, original vegan - 1 calorie per gram, 18% protein (a bit high in sodium) nutritional yeast - 4 calories per gram, 45% protein

How many hours a day do you watch TV, play video games, or surf the net? Subtract 2 hours from that and exercise instead.

To clarify, cross training is cardio. It is to build cardiovascular endurance without wearing out your running muscles. But you are probably right, you may not want to make any big changes now. Also, speed work is usually 5 or 6 miles including warm-up and cool down, so I wouldn't change that.

Your hill or tempo run should be a little longer, imo, 6-10 miles cycled through your schedule, 6 one week, 10 the next, for example. About 25-30 hard training miles is good for a first marathon, varying from week to week for recovery. Mix in some 12-15 mile long runs with the 18-20s. Are you cross training? If not, you…

No evidence of that. There is some evidence of beneficial hormonal changes, but that is all.

IF itself will not increase weight loss, it is still calories in/calories out. For some, it makes compliance easier. Make sure you eat enough during your feeding window.

If you haven't already you might read the pinned posts up there while you wait. It will probably answer some of your questions and it also specifies some information that will be needed for a complete answer from the moderators. Congrats on your progress so far. :)

Can you summerize how you trained? Length of runs, paces, speed work etc. That's a really good time, congrats

Restricting foods for children can have unintended consequences. Check out this video, it's eye opening, be sure to watch close starting at 3:20. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNA3zltptmk

Yes, and anyway, 10% isn't significant? It's pretty significant for the families of all those dead non-runners.

What has really worked for me is intermittent fasting. It's not for everyone, but you might look into it.

Agreed. After a week or so of recovery (easy runs, reduce mileage), you should start training for August.

It's possible but risky. If 60 pounds is all there is to lose, then even more risky. You would essentially be fasting. The real problem is you would likely gain it back.

That's a crazy high protein intake, so first I would rethink that. If you eat dairy you can get all that and more, don't give it a second thought. If you are lookig for plant sources, soy and legumes will do the trick. Don't worry about combining, that is a myth. But, most of all, seriously, you don't need that much…

I'd advise against this. Working out shouldn't be a penance for being "bad," it should be something you love and look forward to.

I have a suggestion, don't weigh yourself until after your honeymoon. Focusing on a number will lead to the wrong kind of thinking and to less helpful habits. Start the lifestyle you are going to continue for the rest of your life today, whether that means heavy weightlifting or taking up a sport or event or whatever your…

You're overthinking it. :smile: Drink whatever non-caloric drinks you want. Water is water. Mild changes in water retention from caffiene won't effect fat loss. If it messes with your scale then weigh yourself less often.

First, someone of your age, gender, and relative size should have more calories. 2 pounds a week is likely not a healthy goal. A 1/2 pound a week would be better for many reasons. In other words, don't be vigorous, be smart. Also, when you eat the calories is not important. If you are satiated and able to stick to your…

Yes, what he said. Think of it this way, you are too slender and healthy to lose fat that fast. Do it gradually the right way and this time you will keep it off for good. Best wishes.

Honestly, your best chance now is to rest up and do light workouts every other day. If you train now you will wear yourself out. Do NOT workout the day before the test. Eat a bit more on that day, plenty of carbs. Get good sleep. Eat a light meal about an hour before. Warmup for the test with about a mile of easy jogging.…

I'm a dad, but I'm a long time vegan. I'll add you.

While training for the marathon I would trade out a strength class for swimming or biking (spin class works too) and do at least 2 cardio crosstraining sessions a week with three working runs.. Make sure classes don't get too intense and hurt your runs. I woud also do some longer tempo runs, 8-10 miles, with a few 10…

I see you are from Ada, so am I. Is the Warrior Dash in Ada? Ada has an annual July 4th 5K at Wintersmith as well. I have done three 5ks and my wife and I are training for a half marathon in May. Usually for a 5K you would train some at longer distances to build endurance. Most runners do one long run a week at a slower…
