8.95 miles tonight with an 8:18 clip. Thank you Map My Run. And shout to my broski Jackson for pushing a sickly man to his limits

Black Bean Burger Recipe

I bumped into my friend Austin last night in the grocery store and he said that he was using this recipe.  The funny thing is, neither of us are vegetarian, but both of us enjoy a good veggie burger!  

Great Anaerobic 12 week marathon training program

Just ran a quick search just to make sure my “sprint for marathon training program” was validated by other professionals in the field.  This is Olympic coach applied and approved if you want to take a look at it.  It basically gives you an outlay on the last page of the article of 2 different kinds of training days per week.  Day 1 is a tempo run, typically structured in the form “3 x 2 miles with a steady half mile recovery between sets.”  Day 2 is a steady long run that you take 10% slower than your calculated marathon pace (you can find conversion calculators for what your marathon pace is by punching in your other paces, such as your 5k pace).  The article of course recommends that you have other training days throughout the week, but the workout centers around the concepts for these aerobic vs. anaerobic workouts.  

Pretty sure I burnt more calories last night blasting my drum kit than I did running 3.5 miles earlier that day. #blownstag

I got myself some “lightnin’ suspenders” for running at night. If you like running at night PLEASE get some. I’ve almost been hit by Volvos and Volkswagens too many times.

Too many bananas?

Some friends and I had a conversation the other night about banana’s.  It came up that a friend of theirs had recommended that someone should eat no more than a half of banana a day (we believed her advice to be because of the high sugar content).  

Came to find this article from Anne Helmenstine PhD. and nutrition expert.  Summing it up, potassium is the primary culprit in examining warnings against banana consumption.  Too much of it can cause cardiac arrest and other heart issues, but the exact threshold for how many bananas (most likely determined by a number of genetic variables) is unknown.

Gym quote of the day: “just try to get 8-15 (reps).” #details

Sedentary Sunday: watched Tree of Life and washing it down with the Grammies.

Broskis who think swim trunks are great gym attire should get the heck out.
