I...Totally agree with "Running with MPT"! I recently had a conversion with a nutritionist who happens to be married with an elite 1500m runner and the athletes are encourages to gain 5-10% of their body weight off-season. If not they risk metabolic damage that can be dramatic. In another post you mentioned a marathones who needs to add only a handful of nuts while competing in several marathons in a row. This actually isnĀ“t an intelligent adaptive mechanism of the body it points to a large drop in metabolic function. If this woman stops running that many miles and eats like a normal person (as opposed to restrictive) she will gain a disproportional amount of weight and will encounter increasing difficulties to lose it. Elite runners can be that lean (not only skinny, they have low body fat while many recreational marathonners are skinny fat, low weight, no muscle, flab all over) because they allow themselves to be heavier most of they year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-30998161563959993902012-11-16T20:02:02.729+01:002012-11-16T20:02:02.729+01:00Ideal racing weight

If they were to stay that low all the time it would be counter-productive.<br /><br />So there is a big difference between healthy racing weight and healthy training weight.<br /><br />Actually, not that big for you - Maybe 5 pounds heavier for an ideal training weight than your ideal racing weight.<br />Running with MTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818038152767108506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-87917049126290378882012-11-15T16:59:47.614+01:002012-11-15T16:59:47.614+01:00So excited for your 2:50 marathon.

My response would be anywhere from 400 meter to 5k as well.<br /><br />If chocolate is healthier than cheese, shouldn't we all be eating chocolate sandwiches? Seriously. And chocolate pizza? Gluten free or course. <br /><br />For me 5 has always been red. Steve just because you associate it with the colors of something from your childhood doesn't mean you don't have synesthesia! I think most of us have it to a certain degree (okay, maybe engineers like Katie are very talented at supressing it!). But Steve, that question was for you. I loved Born on a Blue Day. Thanks for the recommendation :).sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-73677060119449442802012-11-13T17:17:27.254+01:002012-11-13T17:17:27.254+01:00For the longest time I've been saying you (and...For the longest time I've been saying you (and a handful of others I know) could be much faster if you'd only take training and racing more seriously. I'm sure somewhere I said you should be running well under 3:00 for the marathon (and SR about 2:35). <br /><br />Good luck with the coach!<br /><br />1) Depends upon the types of cheese and chocolate. Cocoa powder wins - all antioxidants, minerals and healthy fats.<br /><br />2) 1500/5000m gives the healthiest looking bodies. I have a weakness for short skinny women, so I tend to chase marathoners.<br /><br />3) Green. I thought once I might have synesthesia, but the colors I associate with numbers are exactly the colors of a magnetic number set I had as a child. What does Daniel Tammet say?<br /><br />SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-4243577400000961542012-11-13T13:34:59.588+01:002012-11-13T13:34:59.588+01:001) I'm going to say cheese, no chocolate...I d...1) I'm going to say cheese, no chocolate...I don't know. I love my dark chocolate at night.<br /><br />2) Hmmm, well I'm going to guess you mean elite athletes? Because I pretty much look the same regardless of what distance I'm training for. I'd have to say the "mid distances". 2 mile, 5K, and 10K. They don't look as emaciated as marathoners, and they're slightly less muscular than the sprinters. Sort of in the middle.<br /><br />3) I'm an engineer. I don't what it means to associate a color with a number...really I'm having trouble with this. Are you making a reference to Grapheme? I sort of wish I had that. It would make seeing patterns in numbers and equations so much more intuitive...Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399320835082431959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-14721858527757153382012-11-13T11:45:44.865+01:002012-11-13T11:45:44.865+01:00Wow, it is going to be so good reading about your ...Wow, it is going to be so good reading about your training.
