Outlaw 2013

EP - In May I changed my diet to eat much less grains and mostly veg and fruit with plenty of protein. Obviously I have to eat enough starch to keep up with training (ran 3 marathons over the summer) but it was much less than normal.

As a result I have found myself much less susceptable to the sore throats that I would get with the too little sleep/too much work that is norm in my life. Energy level is higher too.

I'm not sure that everyone would agree, but it has helped me.

heard about that and also that peeps are losing weight on it too.

Got to try something and the 1st 10wks of Fink Just Finish aren't tooo tough so maybe worth a go

Outlaw training is a good way to lose weight. Towards the end I was having 4 or 5 meals a day and snacking almost non-stop, and still struggled to maintain a constant weight.

Woo Hoo!

Maybe this won't be a 1 off then!

Cat.i have always gained weight training for ironman.i even gained for the double........i think somepeople like myself think oh good i'm doing so much training i will lose weight but them overcompensate big time.... big brekkie before goingout on the bike.eat whilst out and thena big meal to refuel.then add some treatsbecause i have been so good  doing a long bike.and before you know it you are stuffing yourself silly..

so my advise to those who have a little problem with the weight.....just keep track and be sensible...........

and i have decided as its cold i will not take my bike to manchester as if its icy and i fall off its a long way to have to drive home in pain.will take swim kit and ruinning kit and repolicate yesterdays sessions.not ideal but at least it gets rid of the swim sessions for the week

Seren that's always been me with marafuns. I'm hoping that as most of my training will be pre-work meaning I can't eat before and rushing after I may (haha) control it

Sensible - Ironman - contradiction ?

my training has started well... nearly at 1 bottle of red a night!

I am being sensible this year for my IM training......honest..its going to be slow consistent training.......

Week 1 and very hungry, but do need to lost a bit of weight.  I think its the swimming that's making me hungry.

Day 3 another swim and will run tonight.

Will I ever get used to these early mornings.

Are you drinking enough TL? I've learned that a lot of my hunger pangs are actually thirst, especially after I've been swimming - either that or I'm drinking carbohydrated water!!

I 2nd hunger post swimming being thirst

That could be it as I also had a bit of a headache today.  OK will try and drink more water.

Hope trainings going well for everyone.
