This marks week one of my project. So far I went to the gym to work on some leg workouts to get them ready for future workouts to come. I also looked up and learned details of a meal plan for an average long distance runner:
“base the number of calories you eat per day on how much running you do. If you run 30 to 60 minutes a day, aim to eat 16 to 18 calories per pound of body weight, says registered dietitian Brooke Schantz for Loyola Medicine. If you do one to 1.5 hours of activity a day, bump that up to 19 to 21 calories per pound. Up to two hours of running needs 22 to 24 calories per pound, while two to three hours requires 25 to 30 calories per pound, or more.”
Some challenges faced were body soreness from lack of exercise. In the future I plan to keep working out on my legs and to keep improving on my mile runs.
