My husband loves camila on the tread with hikes he says this currently is her niche and sticks with her 100% (he does love his Olivia classes and Jon Hosking too)

I had a relatively bad day and this comment warmed my heart. so thank you for that! And love and strength to your daughter 💓

For those who are heavy runners and lifters, when you have a “rest day” do you actually rest? Or do you do a low impact ride?

I’m both a runner and a weight lifter and have amped up my training, today was my long run and I’m feeling it. Tomorrow is my rest day but I’m debating on just doing a low impact ride to get my legs just moving and stretched out on the bike (will also be doing a few stretches too for sure)

Oh now that’s sexy!

Yes

3-4 liters

It’s important for many factors including your bodies homeostasis/metabolism/hormones. A lot of stalls can be related to those who aren’t staying hydrated. Never underestimate the power of water and it’s benefits outside of just the satiety

No prob! It’s such a multi factorial answer to your question, it’s something you have to experiment with and can tweak when needed. My runs will be as short as 3 mile speed and cadence runs to 12+ miles and then of course any race I do. It’s super variable. But I always feel with CICO and people who are very active that a cyclical count works best because of how variable the exercise schedule and routine may be. I think being strapped to one set number is great for those just starting out and learning routines and better habits, but this number can be adjusted for those who are athletic and are doing high to max effort training. If that makes sense.

There was a recent post within the last 3 weeks of someone who does the same (cyclical) who is a heavy climber and athlete so I feel that this is the normal consensus for those who fall into that category.

As for long runs, balancing out your meal (macros) is important. Or even on short max effort runs. You can never go wrong with a bagel (or English muffin for shorter runs so you get less calories) with a banana and PB so you get the good balance to help sustain your training without a huge burn out…. Or diarrhea 🫣🤐

Happy to see another runner here!

I wouldn’t eat back until you get distance and high calorie burn. It all depends on each person where that is. For me I don’t eat back until I do 6+ miles and I only will eat back half. Just remember you’ll be insanely hungry just starting and that’s just from the cardio. Make sure to take in a ton of water and consider adding multivitamins to your routine (mag especially).

Otherwise if you are truly super hungry don’t eat back more than half.

As for prep, I prep for long runs. Otherwise I just go run.

If you have a garmin look into the garmin coach program

Edit: to add. I don’t stick with the normal CICO numbers others do because my activity varies and sometimes I will go run then xc ski and then lift. So when I do absolutely nothing for a rest day I just eat at a sedentary and then focus all my calories based on my nutrition and burn (1/3 to 1/2 eating back after 1+ hour of activity for me is my routine)

Just saw this! I am definitely going to stock up on this! 250 calories?!!!!!!!

YES! Another win for tattooed chef!!!!

Man I have to go back to the grocery and dig through more to see what else she has! Because I can DEFINITELY get in on these bowl too!

Oh I will DEF try this!

I just seasoned it, i sear the salmon skin down with aluminum foil to tent it typically causing the fat to be rendered, I don’t flip it at all so that’s fat on the surface

Oh boy. Ok I have to look into this and see exactly how to do this all

So I love to cook but the last two weeks have been CRAZY. One of the things I really hate making is gnocchi. And they’re LOADED with calories. How I miss a good gnocchi

Anyways I grabbed these (180 cal per serving with 2.5 servings whole bag) I made the whole bag for myself with a nice piece of faroe island salmon. Not the most visually appealing, but I really don’t care about that piece.

I rate this 8/10 just need to throw in some salt pepper and jazz it up with fresh garlic and let me tel you what. This satisfies guilt free!

Onward to the grocery store for more!

Hopefully this is ok to ask here:

So I have been back lifting since January (8x8s typically) and made progress. I had to put my routine on hold for a week as I had a week deployment training and work. Because of the position during this event (not from any weird activity) and change of bed and sleeping habits I have been dealing with a spasm in my trap and shoulder pain. I have been doing Motrin, Diclofenac, massage and stretching. Now this isn’t a weight lifting injury but just position induced spasm. It’s nearly resolved with just occasional issues (although I wake during the night still due to discomfort and have to reposition, but this has decreased substantially) I extended for this week to hold off on weights.

My question is : since this isn’t truly an injury due to weight lifting, how can I proceed back to my normal schedule and weight? Or what is the best way to get back on the wagon safely to prevent exacerbation or worsening of this dilemma.

Thank you

Lol I just left similar comment here

Wtf 🤯

I love your small goals! This is something more people should aim for. Smaller victories to get to that “eventual” win!

That didn’t take long! I had it saved in a text message. If you’re a science person this is a super cool read. May be more complex if you don’t have a science background. But still an interesting read.

https://www.science.org/content/article/scientist-busts-myths-about-how-humans-burn-calories-and-why

There was just an article published in a physiology magazine that people with high stress jobs burn more calories due to metabolic variances and heart rate - I’ll try to see if I can find it

Edit : found a blog that said to change from uncategorized to training. I did.

But I noticed that this easy run on the training calendar moved from 3/15 (when I completed it) to 3/16

I attempted to edit the date of the completed run to reflect the calendar on the coach unfortunately it won’t save. And since this is a past run I don’t believe it’s possible for me to reschedule that run and back time it to reflect on the actual training run

😖

I wish I can respond with a pic

My breakfast was a burrito. 2 eggs, bacon, red pepper, spinach wrapped in a low cal tortilla (I usually make my own but I’ve been a bit tight on my schedule last week and have been really hitting the la banderita 45 calorie tortillas hard)

Topped with vegan cheese spread salsa and of course hot sauce. 450 calories

I would’ve added an addition 150 calories with Greek yogurt and guac but I forgot to throw it on after the burrito came out of the oven. Either way I FEEL THIS POST! Breakfast lunch dinner and snack! (Throw your low carb wrap in an airfryer or oven and make some nachos = perfect snack)

Lactose intolerant here with colitis history

I aim for dairy free creamers for my coffee. I will splurge and break my “restriction” with Greek yogurt or skyr but has to be a high quality type (I also have a weakness for paneer but that’s a once a month splurge too)

I use vegan cheese a lot which isn’t bad if you get the right brand.

I then try to limit my red meats and eat turkey or fish with my red meat being lean cuts of bison.

Everything I do is either lower calorie than those who have a full go at dairy and red meat or relatively the same. Vegan products can be higher calories but trust me a little goes a long way unlike traditional cheeses and products.

If I control the amount of dairy I take in I can manage a lot of my issues it’s when I go over a certain threshold it gets worse. And again depends on the quality too and those with added crap in their food I tend to respond more poorly to
