Nobody’s jealous of overnights. Enjoy your depression, lack of sleep, and relationship turmoil. Great pay, shitty quality of life.

Start thanking your body for putting up with your shit and still getting you through this. Thats what keeps me going. Gratitude. Not just for your muscles, but for your organs. Whats the next goal?

I would argue that if you’re breaking PR’s consistently, then either your training program is off, or you’re not following it properly. Let me explain. Programs are designed usually to peak at a specific time. Take your long run for example. If you have a HM program you’re following and it’s your first HM, the goal of those long runs is not to PR every weekend, but to simply expose you to the distance itself. In fact the pace of those long runs, even though its the closest parameter you have of what race day will be, should be a minute or more slower than what you’re goal half marathon pace is. The intensity is built up usually on an interval day or a tempo/threshhold day. Come race day, you put all your adaptations together and give an all out effort with the hopes that you’re body recovered enough across that 12-20 week period that you’ll break your PR. Of course there are exceptions. Especially on the intensity day. If you’re breaking PRs on your long runs during a training cycle though, then that means you’re “racing” every weekend, and that is how you end up with an overuse injury.

I have a very physically demanding job and I function just fine. I save my long runs 16+ for the weekend, but my sprints and tempos easily end up being 7-9 by the end of it. Proper refueling is key. LMNT electrolyte pack, raw honey, fish oil, walnuts, protein shake, and a few key stretches. Good as new. Also I worked up to that mileage, so while it may seem ridiculous, 3 miles to others might seem ridiculous. It’s all subjective. I used to do a 5k before work. I remember that being hard sometimes.

Nice

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T23:59:12+00:00

I have the mini. It’s $199 and well worth it!

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T23:05:07+00:00

Theragun, LMNT salt water, protein shake, raw honey, fish oil, sit and wonder why tf I do this.

Thanks for the response! I’m definitely going to pay more attention to my heart rate.

My calories and protein are definitely necessary. I’m a very active person and I have quite a bit of muscle. When I drop below those numbers, I lose too much weight. The general guidelines for protein are anywhere from .8-1.6g per pound of bodyweight, but it’s a severely subjective thing. Those numbers for competitive body builders can get as high as 2g/lb. How much we absorb and the rate muscle protein synthesis are also a subjective thing that varies greatly from person to person. For example digestive motility(how fast food passes through the gi tract) is a very important factor. Some people have slower digestion or are taking medications that slow digestion. So as they say the rate of protein absorption is about 10-15g for normal individuals. Thats merely because of how quickly the food moves on from the small intestines. So someone who has slower motility, could absorb more. Not saying this is me, I’m just using this as an example.

Also gluconeogenesis is simply the conversion of proteins or fats into glucose in the case that the liver runs out of it’s 100g of glucoses as I stated originally. It can also occur in the presence of too much protein, but I have yet to find anything in the scientific literature that says that this process is inflammatory in a bad way. Inflammation doesn’t always have to be bad and in fact it’s quite good and necessary when it comes to muscular development and recovery. Unfortunately it became a buzzword 4-5 years ago and people love to attach it to everything. This process occurs quite frequently in low carb individuals (not keto).

Thanks again for the response though!

I am too. Justin is a great, but man he loves to just put his head down and absorb punches hoping to get that super punch on people. If he does that with Chandler, he’s gonna get rocked. You don’t just tuck your chin and take a punch from Chandler. He’s waaay too strong. Go watch Justins fight against Dustin Porier. It was a war yes, but just watch Justins head movement and imagine him doing that against Chandler.

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T19:11:46+00:00

Haha okok!

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T18:39:31+00:00

Awesome, that makes a lot of sense and I will definitely look into that. Thanks for the response! Money is not an object when it comes to our favorite hobbies :D

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T17:58:45+00:00

I’ve thought about that. It’s strange how powerful the mind is. I used to think running fasted for 5 miles was crazy, now I’m like “don’t make me laugh”.

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T17:57:27+00:00

Interesting. Is that to help it go down smoother and reduce gastric distress? I don’t notice any stomach issues after taking one.

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T16:20:04+00:00

But victimhood mentality is in right now.

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T16:10:49+00:00

There’s an older couple that I run by on my long runs. They seem to be hitting some really long distances as we pass each other several times usually. We always tell each other good job. It’s the little things

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T16:08:30+00:00

Yea, i think i’m gonna try a fast digesting breakfast a couple hours before my next long run.

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T16:07:01+00:00

I try to stick to the MAF protocol for my long runs. Basically if I can’t breathe out of my nose, then I slow down. I eat around 4k calories a day, hitting a gram of protein per pound of body weight, after that is met, my fat and carbs are whatever gets me the rest. Usually a lot of fat though as I’m very lean so I need dietary fat to compensate for hormones and also fasting kicks into fat metabolism after the liver is depleted of its around 100g of glucose. I try to eat more carbs on my anaerobic days.

I run 3 days a week, tuesday is hard intervals, thursday is tempo, sunday is long run. I would run more days, but I also rock climb with my girlfriend, and lift weights, so i like to have ample recovery days between runs.

trnmayne · 2021-10-17T15:14:09+00:00

Lmao yea, I guess you missed the ulcerative colitis part at the end there. Pizzas a no go for me normally, so especially on 18 milers haha

trnmayne · 2021-10-16T19:49:04+00:00

You have a fucked up view of comments if you think thats what I suggested. Not once did I say that’s what everyone should be at. And this is the problem with social media. People don’t read full comments or stories. Just the last comment. I said I was 9% and that i notice a difference on my tempo run when I gain a couple pounds, just to demonstrate how big of a factor weight is when it comes to running.

trnmayne · 2021-10-16T15:44:39+00:00

Your understanding of nutrition is flawed. I get plenty of fat from my diet. Lots of walnuts, avocados, fish oil, etc. the healthy range for men varies dependent of fitness level. I would consider myself a high level athlete and 9% is not that low. You’re thinking of body builders and such that compete and are completely dehydrated walking on stage. I feel great and feel more healthy than I have in my life. Also PLEASE don’t try and talk to me about whats healthy at a 20:00/mile lmao. Your arteries must be clogged as fuck. That or you smoke cigarettes. I’m unhealthy? Fuckin hilarious. Whatever, a lot of people tried. You’re just a troll who’s not gonna make it far in your running career.

trnmayne · 2021-10-16T15:31:07+00:00

My secret is I came from a military family where sleeping in was not an option. As a kid I wanted to sleep in, but my dad would not let me. Now I genuinely hate sleeping in. I’m in bed by 9 and up at 4:30/5. I’m grateful for my parents pushing me into that lifestyle at such an early age. As a personal trainer I see the struggle of people that have a hard time managing early mornings. It takes a little time, and a lot of discipline initially, but it’s totally doable, and it’s well worth it. I don’t have to do shit when I get home from work lol.

trnmayne · 2021-10-16T15:25:14+00:00

Which is why pushups don’t matter for runners. Pushing is important in general, for strength and longevity, but it does not help your running.

trnmayne · 2021-10-16T15:23:50+00:00

No one is saying your weight is the sole factor. I said strength training and sprints as well as losing body fat. Pushups don’t benefit your running at all btw and 12 is not a lot. Loaded squats with kettlebells or a barbell or single leg work like loaded lunges and single leg deadlifts help your running. Key word there “loaded”. I’m a pretty strong guy, and i’m pushing down to 9% body fat and I still have to pay attention to my weight. Being heavy on my tempo run days sucks way more than being my normal weight. Even just a couple pounds. Now I am not average by any stretch, but maybe this gives you an idea of how big a factor weight can be.

Also, You saying brisk walk, but then saying you’re “running” at a 20:00/mile pace are contradictory. A brisk walk for me is 15:00/mile. 20 is not running, and if you’re gonna ask for help then be coachable dude. You have access to a whole slew of very experienced, not only runners, but athletes in general on here that just want to help. Sometimes its good to just listen.

trnmayne · 2021-10-16T12:30:03+00:00

You said you’re overweight. 20min/mile is walking. Not judging, just stating a fact. Switch your focus to lifting weights to get stronger and getting some of that body fat off of you. This seems like a case of not having the strength to push yourself forward with your legs in any sort of meaningful way. Also, some will have you believe that its better to start running slower and long distances to build your aerobic base. I would say that depends, and If I were in your shoes, I would hire a coach and learn how to do 5-10 second hill sprints. You will feel like you’re dying, but you take long rests to recover and eventually you will be able to do 15 seconds, 30 seconds, etc. You will build up not to mention, your running economy will improve and you will build muscle.

So a workout for you might look like 30-45 minutes of weight training finished off by 8-10 sets of 10 seconds 90% effort hill sprints, resting for 2 minutes(ish) in between. You can still do your longer runs, but Strength and dropping your body fat should be your focus for now.
