The Life Of ProteinPancakes’s

So far training for my Half Marathon has definately been one of the toughest things I have done and one of the worst things I could have done. Before I decided to do the Half Marathon my diet was going great and training was consistent. Now however, my diet has been pretty bad and training has been less frequent. I think it has to do a lot with the fact that I am putting off my Half Marathon training and therefore feel no reason to do anything else. I am still weightlifting but cardio now seems rare. I used to do it 45min. 5-6 days a week consisting of biking, interval training or whatever I chose. Unfortunately now I do not have the privledge of choosing and must run. Do not get me wrong I enjoy running but not 9-10 miles. 

Those of us who weightlift hard know that we want our bodies to be made of fast twitch muscle fibres. All my life I have sprinted or weightlifted..Due to this and my genetic profile it is making running 14 miles very diffcult on my body. I have the cardiovascular stamina to go the 14 miles but my body is the one that is giving out. I am finding that my legs quickly get built up with lactic acid and fail out on me.

I think what I am going to do now is go back to my regular routine of weightlifting, cardio of my choice and my good diet and see if my attitude towards training changes.
