Fall Half Marathon Training: Week 1

Image
Hello and happy Sunday, friends!! Ok, so my first week of half marathon training was kind of weird. It was great because I exercised a ton more than I usually do, but I didn’t do all that much running. *sigh* I planned to run on Thursday, but I had way too much work to do, so it just never happened. I figured I could run on Saturday morning, but then Mal wasn’t available, and Qman definitely had some energy to burn, so sitting in the jogging stroller just wasn’t an option. Long story short, I ended up at CrossFit on Saturday morning (because they have childcare). I figured a 20-minute AMRAP was better than nothing, right? Plus, it was a special 9/11 workout, so I thought it was a nice way to honor those who risked their lives on that day 15 years ago. Anyway, here’s a recap of last week’s workouts. Never forget 9/11/2001 SUNDAY: 8 miles MONDAY: CrossFit – “The Seven” This workout was horrible and easily one of the hardest I’ve ever done. I used #75 for the Thrusters, #135 for

Pre- and Post-Game Fuel for Kids

Stumped by the question of what to serve hungry young athletes before and after practices and games? Check out our hit list of energy-boosting, muscle-building, lip-smacking grub that will give them the nutrition their bodies need to stay at the top of their games. Sports Nutrition Crash Course Young athletes don’t have the same nutritional needs as elite athletes, but they do need the proper fuel to perform their best. Kids participating in middle school and high school sports often run to their games right after a day of classes, long after lunchtime, leaving them low on energy and pressed for time. For this reason breakfast is a must, lunch can’t be skipped, and a snack leading up to an afternoon sporting event is a really good idea. Before exercising, easily digestible carbs are the best types of snacks – no one needs a bellyache on the field or court. Post-exercise eating is all about recovery of energy stores and repair of tired and worn-out muscles. Here the goal is to replen
