Workout Week 5.–11.08.2013

Published on by Margit ParteiLisa kommentaar

In Workout Week posts I will tell you everything about my last week’s workouts.

Monday was a really really hot day so in the daytime I did my regular 30 minute walk with my dog. I literally had to wait until 8.30 PM to go outside and work out. Decided to cycle for an hour since that gives me a little bit of wind and doesn’t kill me as bad in the heat.

On Tuesday I did a longer walk with my dog since it was official rest day. In the afternoon we realised we needed some groceries and since the car is broken, we took our backpacks and went grocery shopping with bicycles. People thought we’re crazy but what can you do, right. 

Wednesday was the day of my last run before the race on Saturday. I was slow but not terribly slow. I postboned the run until 8.30 PM because of the hot and sunny weather, I really didn’t want to mess with my muscles before the race. Besides that I did a regular half an hour walk in the afternoon, it was so hot my dog really didn’t want to walk… He almost stopped half way there and looked at me like I was some kind of criminal. But we made it home eventually. 

On Thursday the heatwave continued. Me and my dog died on our regular walk and I was so happy I didn’t have a running-day. In the evening I did an hour of all over exercises for my muscles. Last workout before Narva Energy Run.

Friday. Last day before Narva Energy Run. Nerves, a lot of nerves. Maybe not A LOT but still. They were kicking in. Had an hour long walk with my dog, got soaked in rain and then the heat came back and I was dry y the time I got home. Prayed that it wasn’t so hot on Saturday.

Saturday was Narva Energy Run 7K. Post all about that coming in a couple of days!

After finishing the 7K

Sunday was a day of rain weather. It cleared up by evening so I decided to do a nice little bikeride. The first 10 minutes were great and then the rain started. And continued for the next 50 minutes until I got home again. I was soaked but hey: at least it wasn’t hot, right?

 

In total:

2 hours of running

2 hours 45 minutes of cycling

1 hour all over exercises

4 hours of walking

 

A normal week, besides my first running race.

Food Friday 9.08.2013

On Food Fridays I will tell you everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not – you will see it all.

So this Friday was very different from my usual plan. We decided to celebrate my mother’s birthday. So I knew in advance that it was going to be a huge eating fest but since I have a running race on Saturday, I ofcourse couldn’t binge even if I wanted to. But since I estimated my dinner and found it was going to be about the same as my daily calories, I decided to not have breakfast or lunch during the day.

I thought about carbing up before the race and eating homemade bread and cake Friday night but decided not to. Kind of. I made a totally LCHF-friendly cheesecake, though. I’m not sure about Saturday morning, I might eat some bread with my regular breakfast or have porridge or some cake. The carbs make me gain (water) weight but they also make me run so much faster. So I might carb up a little bit but no huge carboloading! The distance (7K) doesn’t require too much carbs.

I obviously didn’t weigh my food at a birthday party but I did mark down everything I ate. My “eyescale” is pretty good so it should be quite accurate.

Snacks before dinner

  • 10 g seeds

  • 1 teaspoon of coconut oil

  • about 20 g of cheese

 

Dinner (5.30 PM)

  • 100 g of vegetable salad

  • 100 g of cheese-cabbage-walnut salad with mayonnaise

  • 275 g of pork 

  • 4 small sausages

  • half of homemade rye bread portion (that 13 g of carbs messed up my carbs but that’s OK)

  • LCHF cheesecake (10 g of total carbs) (recipe coming soon!)

 

In total about 1750 kcal. If I hadn’t had the piece of bread (it was delishious!), my carbs would have been around the 22 grams mark. So you can totally have a party and follow LCHF, I just decided to have a little bread and have more power and run faster tomorrow 🙂

 

Next normal Food Friday in a week!
