July 4th: Peachtree Road Race: The road to get under 1 hour

[The ADD]

I got two months roughly to get me myself ready again.

Last year I ran it in 1:07 and some change. I didn't have a qualifying time so I was at the back of the race and you can give up on trying to run speed at that point. I think I had to walk easily the first 1/2 mile just to get separation to jog. Overall I took it easy and didn't push to hard, all of the dodging people walking killed the competitiveness.

New year, no excuses I think shaving 7 minutes is realistic.

This month I'm focusing on sprints and general cardio (still lifting) and I will really get into prolonged running in June. I've been tied up with work so I need a few weeks to get back up to speed.

The last two weeks have been

For the next the next month it will be clean. About two weeks out from the race I won't really eat at deficit just to have enough in the tank to really push it.

I feel you on the past two weeks. I've fallen back into the habit of eating bad food when stressed. Ugh.

Well good luck with the race! I know you'll make it under an hour.

First of all

Second why not eat dirty, even half of that will be good for like 500-600 calories I think. I mean not all dirty but just the excess

I hear you and generally speaking clean/dirty doesn't really matter. I actually don't like "dirty food" much anymore, the taste for it is basically gone for me.

, dessert is another matter. I have to get under control so my punishment must be more severe

I just need a month to re-program

I didn't last year because its to bulky. I doubt I will this year as well.

I met family in Piedmont Park but that walk back to MARTA had us. I need to start brainstorming an alternative.
