Started my Sunday training for this ridiculous double run in July. Good thing about it is that it will rein in my Saturday excesses because I've now experienced how awful running 17km after a day like that can be.
Despite promising to turn over a new leaf, Saturday was again a bit of a shit show. It didn't help that I had a much anticipated double movie day with my youngest. First film started at 9:45 (Spiderman) so I decided to bring lunch and snacks to avoid hunger (I'd done a crossfit workout and swimming that morning). So during that film I ate 4 schnitzel wraps, a packet of chips, 4 donuts and 3 protein bars. But at least I had a bottle of sugar free Gatorade right🤪.
Then had another lunch of a large kebab and chips. Then second film (Ghostbusters) with a tub of ice cream and packet of choc chip cookies. Fark.
Dinner was 2 quesadillas and 4 schnitzels followed by a protein pudding. Thankfully I was so tired I fell asleep at 8:30 and thus was unable to continue the debauchery. Perhaps I should mention that I had 12 weetbix for breakfast as well. Fark.
Anyway, got a very good night's sleep but the run was uncomfortable to say the least. Had 3 shit stops (thankfully plenty of public toilets around) and I felt like I'd chugged 2 gallons of water. On the plus side I seemed to have unlimited energy that day. But yes, I cannot continue with Saturdays like that if I want to run on Sundays.
