Colleen Roy 407 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I ran a 3 mile route this morning that has FIVE hills. I usually can run up the hills (slowly), but have to stop at the top to catch my breath and rest. Today I ran up all five and only stopped at the top of the two steepest hills to catch my breath. Energy was awesome. Came home and took my dogs for a two mile cool down walk, then hit the kettle bell for a quick strength workout. Great start to the day! GO DAY 20!

Megan Claydon 288 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Awesome! It is so empowering to be able to accomplish something that 20 days ago you physcially could not do! Just think you didn't have to run longer, faster, or harder....just clean up the food you put on your plate! I will take that any day! Link to post Share on other sites
Colleen Roy 407 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 It is awesome-I've been running this route for years-and I usually hate it every time because of all the damn hills. But not today! It wasn't that I "couldn't" do it 20 days ago-it just wasn't as easy! And I'll take that any day! Link to post Share on other sites

MaryP 11 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hey Colleen, I also noticed that as we headed into the 3rd week of the Whole30, the running got a whole ton easier. I did a tough 14-mile trail run this weekend, and when I reached the top of the mountain after 9km, I was like "this is the top? I'm not even tired!" I felt awesome. And I didn't feel depleted or tired at all later in the day. I don't know what it is but I'm not complaining!! Link to post Share on other sites
