DrewB Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I am on day 2 of my second whole 30. My first was several years ago. I started this one because I have gotten back into a bad rut of unhealthy eating habits and have not been exercising like I should. I have run 3 half marathons in the past year and have my first full marathon coming up at the end of February. I had not even thought about how this Whole 30 would effect my training! Part of my problem is that I haven't been training and now I'm on an 8 week plan to get my miles in. I won't be doing the Whole 30 on race day, I'll be reintroducing things by then, but I will be for most of my training. I think eating sweet potatoes the day before long runs will be key for me but I hadn't even thought about race snacks. I currently eat a pureed applesauce pouch but I'm sure it's not compliant. I've read on here that a few people have found compliant electrolyte mixes and pouches, would you please share what they are? Can I buy them on Amazon?? Hearing that everyone's times are much slower while on the Whole 30 is a bit discouraging! I'm not a fast runner by any means but I do have a time goal in mind for my runs. I'm slower than I have been in the past right now due to not running for a while but I was hoping that would get better as I get back into it, however, it doesn't sound like that will happen while doing the Whole 30. Has anyone out there increased time while on a Whole30? During my last Whole30 I wasn't running but I was doing a lot of weight lifting and I got a lot stronger during my Whole30 so I was hoping to have the same positive effect this time. I appreciate any input, have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie McD Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I *think* the Clif Bar Organic Energy Food pouches will work for you: http://www.clifbar.com/products/clif/organic-energy-food/banana-beet-with-ginger. I think only the Beet/Banana/Ginger ones will likely work for you? Also, an idea: what about pureeing a sweet potato, mixing with ghee, and carrying along in a small plastic bag on your runs? My running coach does this, and I plan on doing the same when I do Whole30 later this month (and embark on my weekly long distance runs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewB Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Thank you! I'm going to test out eggs and sweet potato before my run tomorrow and coconut water during. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewB Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Today was much better, I think I am adapting. I had banana and sweet potato for breakfast and another banana pre workout. Coconut water during the run. Hopefully things keep improving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
