Day Forty Four

So another marathon down. Feel pretty good - no injuries. Time was ok - considering the lack of serious running training. Tough balance with the PCP, as the running can burn off some of the hard-earned muscle along with the fat. However, I am less concerned with bulking up a lot of muscle - which though it looks great - is going to slow me up in the aerobic activities I am interested in like swimming, cycling and running.

Am very glad to slip back into a set program, one of the recurring problems I have is peaks and troughs with my training. Whenever I complete a big event like a marathon or an ironman, I tend to kick back and let myself slide for a few weeks and this is where the relentless visceral/sub-cutaneous fat has built up. So I am going to be back to a strict diet, though may throw in a few more egg whites to rebuild some of those muscles
