Wendy got a 58:30 for 6 miles to kick off her half training last week! She has been doing great averaging 12-15 miles a week. She has good blood pressures and heart rates. I think I may have talked her into a supplement regiment!
I had a nice 4 mile opening test run @ a 9:45 pace to kick off half training last week also. I have had some recent issues with blood pressure and blood sugar from my work hard play hard ways so I took some new baseline measurements. My blood pressure held at 170/95 sitting and standing during mid way through, 135/80 @ rest afterwards, my heart rate held at 145-155 BPM (need 165) average during the run and 50 BMP at rest (signalling decent autonomic response), my blood sugar was 95 pre and 125 post (signaling a liver glucose dump) and I had no pain from any pre existing injuries or cramp areas. Peak air flow was 650 as usual. I also went from 233lbs to 223lbs in 7 days. These are definitely the numbers I needed to get at and maintain as a "Clydesdale" runner.
We will now start more rigorous training routine going up to 20 mile weeks by mid March so that we can be close to a 2:05:00 half marathon finish in April!
I will hopefully be using s new balance 1260v2 or similar on race day with lyco405 inserts to keep loose and also remain supported.
Supplements for me this year are: willow bark, banaba, multi, extra zinc, magnesium, selenium, flax oil, synthetic bear bile acid, dhea, creatine, a few added amino acids and l-dopa (velvet bean source)
Happy running!
