Mini Forklift Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 First day nearly done and feeling great. I had a carrot, apple, pomegranate, kale, goji and ginger juice about 12pm and that's carried me through until the late afternoon. For dinner I'm just going to mix up a packet of quinoa rice I found at our local supermarket with a freshly made kale salad, avocado and a yellow & red lentil curry I made up yesterday. Hoping to get out for a quick run for an hour or so later on after the kids are in bed, that's if the rain doesn't get any heavier http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/forum/download/file.php?id=3483 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Just heading out for a morning run before work after having a few days off training. Diet has been going well and I am feeling great as a result of juicing every day. Treated myself yesterday to a nice vege quaesadilla from a local restaurant that knows me well, they happily cater to all of my dietary requirements and look after me well. They know I like spicy foods so this time the chef made me up a hot salsa sauce with some jalapenos on the side ~ damn fine stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Late on Saturday afternoon right now, feeling good and legs are ready for a hammering. Just getting ready to head out for a couple of max pace intervals for somewhere around a 10-12km total run (my watch will take care of all the numbers). It should look something like this: Warm up: 4kmInterval #1: 1.5km*short recovery 2-4mins*Interval #2: 1.5kmCool down: 4km I'm running out to the back of the airport, one of my favourite routes that I run at least a few times every week. There's a long flat section I'm guessing to be about 1.5km where I'm going to start doing more speedwork, it's the perfect stretch of road for developing speed/speed-endurance. Will post up the session later tonight MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 So all I have left is two 60min runs tomorrow (morning & evening) and then that's it until the race Friday and Saturday will be a chance for me to rest and recover before the early race start on Sunday morning. Have never raced a 50km before so I am really looking forward to it. My plan is to go out at around a 5'27"km pace and hold that ~ the splits I am aiming for are: 5km: 27.3010km: 54.3021km: 1.55.0042km: 3.52.00 If I can get to the 42km mark inside 4hrs I should be on track to finish up around 4.40 for the 50km.

Mini Forklift Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Kids are finally up to bed for the night, just got back from a nice four course meal with my wife which is something we hardly ever get the chance to do. Bag is all packed and I am feeling ready to run, looking forward to it. Early start in the morning as I have to be at Hagley park to sign on by 6.30am ~ race starts at 7am. Bring it on... hopefully just under 5hrs of not too much pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Will write last nights' run up soon but man... it slammed me. It was only about 12km but the first 6km were running into a gale-force headwind and it felt like I was barely moving. Before I turned the corner which put the wind behind me (YAY) I think I had only managed to average a 5.30/km pace and I felt pretty smashed, but the homeward bound tailwind must have really helped me out as I finished up with a sub 5min/km pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
