Tuesday started with FitExpress – we really are racking up the intensity! We now have a food diary and weekly goals to complete, and it feels serious!
I experimented with a protein supplement – just like a chocolate milkshake – for lunch, with scrambled eggs. Just trying to ramp up the protein. With the race to come in the evening, I needed to be fuelled but I have to be careful what I eat prior to a race because I tend to throw up! Often I eat very little on a Tuesday, so this was quite a change – and it worked!
After a 1k jog to the start, I managed the 5k in 29:55 – which was slower than I’d like, but the northerly head wind for the last km was a bit of a handful! Without that I would have been on target for a better time… The good part was that I felt pretty strong through the race – and I didn’t throw up!
So I need to work harder on eating more! Probably more protein….
