Take your time!

When eating a meal it is easy to consume many more calories than you need. There is a lag time of 10-20 min before your brain gets the signal from your abdomen that its full.

With amount of cheap fast food we have available to us today (almost on every corner and in between) we can get what we need anytime day or night. Back in the day (Before I was born 30 years ago). Food was relatively more expensive and not as abundant. The amount of obesity today has a huge part to do with the lack of activity we get and fact that we can have 1000 clories in just minutes by heading down to the burger joint getting a juicy burger, fries and a giant pop.

On the treadmill it would take you 100 minutes to burn a thousand calories at an incline of 1 and a speed of 6.0mph (that's a 10min mile). Is it worth it?

Eat clean, eat often, and take your time.

Trail Run

Hey Everyone,

Awesome run to all of those who ventured out this evening in the dark. We had a great run and learned a valuable lesson. BUY A FREAKIN HEAD LIGHT! Everything turned out ok but we did get a little split up. Over the next couple weeks we will work something out to stay together better! It was a beautiful night with the moon out above... If anyone wants to join us meet at the Birds Hill Park entrance (hwy 59) @ 6pm on tuesday's Im sure we still have a couple left!

As for conditioning camp... Well I am playing a lot of tag with people on locations and cant finalize anything until next week with the Wellness so I am still hopefull that we will get something going... I will let you all know when we do.

Training is going great for now. Im starting to get out of this sick slump and am able to push it a bit... Cant wait to be 100%. You never want to go too hard too soon or you will end up run down again.

Have a great evening.

Fighting for weeks

Well training this week has been up and down. I am still under the weather and under rested. When you are run down then its not the time to push it. I have had some great RT workouts this week but tuesday evenings trail run felt way harder than the run at Ironman Canada. we were running 10:30 min/miles on tuesday and I thought I needed to stop. At that point you should stop. Trying to push your body beyond that point you are just asking for something bad to happen. Some signs that may mean that you are run down/under recovered are...

Higher than normal resting heart rate
Higher resting Blood Pressure
Constant fatigue
Unable to train at a level that you are otherwise used to (this is not always an intense level)
Unable to concentrate
Irritable (well more than normal)

Best way to deal with this is to take some down time before you run yourself into the ground! it's 7:38 right now and all I want to do is go to bed.... I think I may give in to that urge.

I have still been trying to nail down new locations for conditioning camp and it is coming to an end. Final details are in the works and we should have a place to call our own soon. Which place is that you ask??? Well it one of four and it keeps narrowing itself down. I will have a few of the places marked down on monday or tuesday.

Finaly to add in some different ideas for training here is a good article on coaches clip board I read today. It talks about how much cardio someone should normaly do. Well there has been a lot of debate in the past few years and now scientistis are saying 60-90 min of cardiovascular exercise/day (up to 6 days/week) for individuals wanting to lose weight. Now if someone is starting out you must ease into your workouts and build up to this amount of time. If you dont have a lot of time for your workout higher intensity and shorter duration is the way to go. If you have the 90 min then the lower intensity is where you should be to last longer.

Here is the article

Stay tuned as I will post some of the great ideas I got for the NEW PPF&C Name and my race report for Ironman Canada! (Tomorrow)

Have a great weekend and get outside!
