#shooting for 300 calories an hour and if it gives me GI distress... that's good practice

[rulesforthedance]

My body is so good at asking for what it needs and I am so good at listening and understanding and obeying. Was out on my run just now and felt a particular kind of emptiness and need. "SUGAR," my body said, "SUGAR." Fortunately was just a neighborhood run, so I swung by home, ate a rice krispie treat and a packet of fruit snacks, and went back out to finish my run, the rest of which felt much better.

#tomorrow is my first 20-miler of this training block and I am going to do my best to eat every two miles #shooting for 300 calories an hour and if it gives me GI distress... that's good practice #but I WILL NOT bonk and I will be set up for good recovery #I've also been drinking protein shakes almost daily bc I was not getting enough protein #and they are kind of gross but I do notice that I'm not getting as sore from workouts #and am bouncing back faster #calorie mention
