Boudyboo Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Things are going ok. I have been eating eggs in the morning with some fresh spinach thrown in. I sprinkle cinnamon on my black coffee. I have been eating a lot more fruits and veg. I took a small baggie of cashews to the movies yesterday and felt ok about it. Movie was Wreck-it Ralph and there is a big candy theme so that was tough. I feel ok but went for a six mile run this morning and hit a wall at mile 2. Walked/jogged my way back. I am used to having a GU on a long run but of course did not use it today. Substitutes? I am going to take it easy with running as my body gets used to things. My one concern is Thanksgiving day. I am running a 10k on turkey day morning. For dinner, I am just planning on eating turkey and yams that day. My kids will be disappointed if there is no pumpkin pie. Can I bake it without eating it? I think I can.

I would add a sweet potato with some coconut oil/ghee to your breakfast on days you plan on running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted November 4, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2012 It can take weeks to adjust to a Whole30 type diet, so your running may be compromised for a few weeks. Being sure to eat carbs everyday may help, but things may still be rough for a while. Some runners carry jars of baby food for on the go food. You could also run with mashed sweet potato in a baggy. I used to do well with a banana on long runs, but I understand that bananas are not as effective as sweet potato or butternut squash at getting your energy up.

Boudyboo Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 I actually had a Lara bar this morning before my run. It still wasn't cutting it. Sweet potatoes are a good idea. Thank goodness for sweet potatoes. I have no problem taking it easy while my body adjusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
