Its a few months away, but I am planning a month long visit to southern Australia. Would love to meet up with raw folks, especially ones on the 811 path!!
Thanks for all of the imput!!. I have a friend who has implimented the CHIRUNNING program and has improved her running. So far this year, at age 42 she has won 7of 8 races from 5k to 50k. She is on fire right now!! Yes I am a vegan chef/raw foods chef. I am going to apprentice at the Tree of Life center in Arizona for 3.5 months. I plan to be a full time raw chef in just a few weeks. I think the mostimportant thingto do right now is get lotsof rest and make sure I stretch daily.
I am new to running,(1 year June 1st), and have had much success in a short time. With the help of going raw, I have run 1 marathon and currently training for 2nd trail marathon. I have completed a 50k at 5hrs3minutes, as well as numerous races from 5k to 16 miles. I am totally into the sport and find I am getting better with each race. Problems are starting to occur. One of the problems is the fact that I work 55-60 hrs a week and squeezing in a training run, sometimes up to 4 hrs is tough. I sleep 5-6hrs a night and arrive at work by 4:30 am. I am a chef and eat well. I know I need more sleep because I am physically exausted. Plus the lack of stretching has tightened up my legs so much. Before running I had a great yoga practice, but when the running got more intense I had to stop going to classes. Most of the runners I train with never stretch, so I usually skip that part. Not Good!! I am worried that if this keeps up I will just get injured and be out for a while, which I definetly don't want to happen. Any motivating words of wisdom??
Well Done Bro!! I just competed in a 50k in Maryland, USA. After a full day of rain and 400+ runners, the terrain was slow and muddy. I finished in 5hrs and 3 minutes place 47th and ran on water, bananas, and dates blended!! At 15 miles I drank 8oz of celery+water+banana for anti cramping purposes and it worked well. Thanks to everybody for their imput. I have learned alot and am proving that raw/vegan fruits and veggies work best for endurance!! Frank
