My Workout Philosophy View My Full Workout Program

Half Marathon

I have run two half marathon races, with another one coming up in November. Though I'm not the fastest runner by any means, I enjoy running the halfs, and follow a general program philosophy detailed below.

1. Run 4-5 days per week.
2. Lift weights 1-2 days per week.
3. Cross-train (swimming/yoga/biking/etc.) once per week.

Though my life has been pretty crazy lately, I try to follow a basic plan each week. Here's what the ideal week looks like for me.

M: REST
T: Easy Run (45-60 minutes)
W: Weights
R: Speed/Interval Run (30-45 minutes)
F: Weights & Easy Run (60 minutes)
Sa: REST or easy cross training
Su: Long Run (9+ miles)

My Nutrition Program View My Full Nutrition Program

Aiming for a Plant-Based Diet

I've been doing a lot of research into different types of diets, what makes the body work in different situations, and a little on the history of dietary consumption. It's becoming clearer, at least in my mind, that industrialized societies have a lot of great things, but a good diet is not really one of them. Sure, there are a lot of neat things out there that help us with our food production that we didn't have before, and maybe our life expectancy is up a bit; however, I'm not totally convinced that we're feeding ourselves what our bodies really need. So I'm trying to eat more and more plant-based foods, non-processed foods, and foods that are low in sodium, nitrates, and other chemicals. It's hard to do, for sure.

DIETARY STAPLES:

whole wheat bread
peanut butter (whole and natural if possible)
honey
fresh fruits (apples, bananas, grapes, strawberries, blackberries, etc.)
fresh veggies (peppers, onions, squash, broccoli, green beans, etc.)
beans (black beans are my fave)
rice
pasta
cereal (aim for the ones with less than 6 ingredients)
milk (usually 1%)
Greek yogurt
chicken (all parts, thighs are my fave)
pork loin, chops
beef steaks
lean ground beef

THINGS I TRY TO AVOID:
supplements
chemicals
chips
candy bars (this is really hard)
overly processed foods
sodas (even diet)

bb24 created a new BodyBlog entry "Health Update".

On the 8th of October, I had my annual health screening provided by my school district's insurance carrier. It's a pretty cool ordeal, I think, to get all the numbers and see how I've been doing over the year. I have, in some regards, continued to improve since last year. Here are the numbers. Weight = 174 lbs BMI = 24 Waist = 31.0 in BF = 15% Chol Total = 145 HDL = 44 Ratio = 3.3 Blood Pressure = 120/82 Glucose = 87 Looking at the numbers, in health terms, I'm in GREAT SHAPE!

tonyjbate Sorry I haven't replied. I'm just know catching up with my Body Space. I've down for a while. I was 4 weeks out from my show in 2010 when my kidneys failed. I've fighting it ever since. I am on Dialysis until I get a Kidney transplant. It's tough trying to train. It's 18 months now and for the last 3 weeks I have been feeling much better. I'm back in the Gym training as hard as my body will let me. Tony Apr 9, 2012 7:10pm
