In this post I would like to break down my plan for success this season. Dropping time in an event is no easy feat. It takes time and consistent training. With that in mind, I would like to break down my season into stages, and keep a “workout log” to keep track of my progress. I will also keep track of my race times in this log.
The stages of my training will consist of each weeks’ workouts. I can’t put much planning into workouts, but I will focus on completing each with my best effort and according to my coach’s instructions.
Besides workouts, another vital part of my training is my nutrition. I plan on staying more consistent with meal prep in order to keep myself in check and ready for each run. I am also considering taking a Creatine supplement. This is a substance that is naturally found in muscles and is used to restore their energy after it is expended. Most of us get Creatine from the meat we eat, but being vegetarian means that I have much less in my diet. Supplementing with Creatine will help me recover faster during workouts, allowing my intervals to be more consistent, and it will aid in long term recovery as well. If you guys are interested, I can write an entire post just on supplements. Be sure to let me know your thoughts š
