[QUOTE="Jones, post: 89614, member: 4805"] I train for distance races pretty much all year long, which is a real challenge on top of the physical day that we all put in for big brown. Getting enough sleep is crucial, but no less so than diet, and in the past 4-5 years especially I've made a real effort to keep it clean and lean, which I think is as important for overall health as it is for workout recovery and race performance. Monday through Friday I get up at 0330 and drink a cup of coffee (obviously!) followed by a carb/electrolyte drink before I go get my daily run in. Post run I have a recovery drink, then breakfast consists of a banana and a (big) bowl of whole grain cereal and soy milk. I graze throughout the day on the contents of my cooler, generally trail mix, apples, brown rice and veggies, and a yogurt smoothie. I try to avoid eating out on the road, both because of the cost and because it's too hard to make good nutritional choices. Dinner is usually tempeh cooked up in canola oil, more brown rice and veggies (I love my rice cooker :wink:) , and maybe some salad. Cutting back on meat is something new I'm trying this year, and I'm using tempeh, tofu and lentils to make up for the lost protein which so far seems to be working pretty well. Not the most exciting diet, but I'm a simple guy and it works for me. [/QUOTE]
