45 minutes front crawl give or take a few breathers and a little choking. Bought a nose plug today which has made the whole affair a lot more serene if that’s the right word.
This whole lack of sunlight with the clock change has really knocked my body a little sideways. Doesn’t normally effect me so bad but I am really getting tired around 4pm. Maybe I need to invest in one of those sun lamp thingies?
Forgot to mention, I am now the proud owner of one of these little pupdogs…
Looking forwards to putting this through its paces – I’ll let you know how I get on.
Ate well again today, nuts and banana and apple for breakfast followed by tuna and spinach for lunch. Pasta with spinach and ricotta for dinner. Managed to cut out all tea and coffee and switched to chamomile tea instead; I really like it. Tastes good and is quite relaxing. » Read more: Herbal Teas
I ate pretty well today apart from a small bag of maltesers at about 9pm to releive a little stress – rubbish. Apart from that, banana and apple for breakfast, fruit and oat bar for mid-morning snack and grilled chicken, tomatoes and rice for lunch. Chicken and chick pea jalfrezi for dinner (home made of course).
So I just received lesson 1 of Branden Brazier’s Thrive 30 plan and its all about diet and stress and how they effect training and recovery.
There are two-types of stress, complementary and uncomplimentary. Complementary stress is positive and pertains to things like training and learning for example. These are stresses we place on the body that force it to grow. Uncomplimentary stress relates to environmental or psychological stresses that actually do us damage. » Read more: Lesson 1 of Thrive 30 – Stress & Diet
First ‘brick’ session:
1 Hour base training on the turbo trainer then straight into a 30 minute run.
Felt pretty damn good – loads of energy today.
Today I ate plain porridge for breakfast (skimmed milk) with a cup of tea with semi skimmed milk. A tuna salad for lunch with extra light mayo and a banana. Late afternoon I had a promax protein bar before training and then for dinner I had low fat mozzarella and advocado salad with quorn escalopes. Oooh, I had a cheeky Latte with semi skimmed milk after lunch and a glasses of extra light ribena during the evening.
That looks like a pretty good day really. 
Discovered Branden Brazier tonight, this guy became vegan at 15 and was a professional Ultra Marathon and IronMan athlete for 7 years. Written some books around the subject of diet and training – will update you on this when they arrive
He also has a Thrive-30 plan; a free 30 day nutrition advice system: Thrive 30
Considering becoming vegetarian and looking to log my daily intake.
Today I ate porridge with semi skimmed milk for breakfast and a cup of tea, a banana mid-morning. For lunch I had a brown baguette with chicken salad and a dash of mayo plus some chicken and garlic soup. A couple of pieces of green and blacks extra dark chocolate and a small bag of maltesers (couldnt get chocolate out of my head). For dinner I made haddock with gruyerre cheese sauce with brussel sprouts, spinach and new potatoes. A few glasses of really light ribenas throughout the evening.
Gutted about the chocolate 
So, read about this guy, Rich Roll, recently who decided to celebrate turning 40 and being 10 years free of drugs and alcohol by becoming an IronMan. » Read more: Plant-Based Triathlon Nutrition
