hey runner people, got a question

i started running consistently about 8 or so weeks ago, using a schedule i found online that was a couch potato->5k guide... it's worked well, but now i want to move up and beyond.

however, every run i take, it seems like a i completely just hit a wall somewhere between 2.75 - 3miles... just cruising at a 9:30-10 min pace depending on the hills of the route of the day.

been stuck here at this same pace/distance for like 3 weeks and dont seem to be going anywhere or being able to do longer at all.

it's like, just complete loss of all energy.

maybe i'm doing something wrong with dieting?

breakfast - oatmeal and a piece of fruit or yogurt, a banana, and some berries
lunch - salad with lettuce, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, walnuts, sometimes some left over grilled meat, yogurt, some fruit
snack - almonds or fruit
dinner - (most of the time) random steamed veggies, grilled/broiled turkey cutlets or fish

hydration doesnt seem to be an issue

it's frustrating and irritating.

i know you'll ask, but i dont do any strength training.. just dont really know what to do / how to do it.

What times are your lunch and "snack" in relation to the time you typically run ?

If its too close beforehand, its a problem

and if its too long since, then that can be an issue as well



and try to find a way to work some kind of weights into your routine

Losing fat means nothing if you're not replacing it with lean muscle

i would try eating your lunch later

Maybe try the apple at 11 and your lunch at 2:30 or so

If its been 5+ hours since your last signficant meal, it could cause a drop in energy

This is why lots of college teams have their team meals 2-3 hours before gametime

@pilgrimshoes

what are your ultimate goals? to improve 5k time or just un-couch potato? you don't necessarily have to lift weights, running long distances doesn't utilize the same muscle fibers as weight training, sure, they'll compliment each other, but generally, if you want to improve endurance speed, you aren't going to want to implement a rigorous weight training program....although i wouldn't not lift weights

take marathon runners and 100m sprinters, both are lean from their diet exploits, one lifts weights, the other not so much, one is muscular, the other not so much, blah blah you can see where I'm going with this

as far as your diet, i can't say for certain, but I'd guesstimate you're not eating enough unless your portions are larger than I perceive...do you have any guess as to what calories you've been consuming and have you been maintaining body weight with this current activity level and caloric intake? For example, I'm 25, 6'1, 205lbs and I estimate my "maintenance" caloric intake to be 3000 cals/day. So for a healthy deficit, I cut with 2400 cals/day split over 6 meals. So in each ~400 cal/meal, I aim for

1 serving whole grains - 120-200 cals
1 serving lean protein - 100-120 cals
1 serving fruit or veggie - 20-100 cals
1/2 serving healthy fat - 65-100 cals

Now, I'm not perfect in any regards to achieving this in every meal, but for the most part, I achieve this breakdown and calorie range in my meals. Meal timing and what you eat isn't overtly important either, so there's no need to do as I do and eat 6x day, equal portions, whats more important is that you've created either a caloric deficit to lose weight or a caloric surplus to gain. I'm just ranting now, not sure how this relates to increasing 5K times, but perhaps if you keep the furnace stoked a bit more, you'll increase endurance? My 5K times were around 24-25min when I was in the sub 200s, now that I've increased LBM and decreased BF and am in the 200-210 range, my 5K time has dropped to 27-28min. Then again, I can't really say my increase in mass has reduced my speed, I definitely have skimped out on LISS cardio in favor of HIIT training.

i dont know shit about all that caloric stuff though

just that as a weight loss and fatburn goal consistent feeding gives the body reason not to store fat and keeps the metabolism burning calories, so for my personal goals (hardcore weight loss independent of strength/endurance/etc training) meal timing and size has been important

i guess long term goals would be more geared towards endurance running.. it's more my style i think. i've always leaned more towards that type of activity through my life.

was thinking of setting a goal for a half marathon mid/late spring, but if i stay in this funk there's no shot.

as for overall caloric intake, porcha, you may be on to something. it's probably too low.

when i started running again, was clockin' in at 190 (i'm 5'10" with a mediumish build.. so pretty round), down to 180 now, but feel a lot better and body's looking better. Still got a lot of gut though, but it'll just take some time.

so I guess my main goals are cutting the gut off, not bulking up, and the aforementioned half.

as for the weight, the first 10 dropped almost immediately, but have been hovering at 180 for the last 6 weeks or so, with 3-4 runs / week..

i drink too much though, so caloric intake would fluctuate between 1500 cals and 2500 cals.... mostly due to fluctuations between zero beers and ten beers...

been cutting down on that significantly though, but mostly recently.

probably below a healthy deficit.

guess i need to reevaluate how i eat.


so if these are my goals, do you have a resource that you'd suggest for workout regimens?

thanks for your input guys

For your weight, 1500 is far too low. You need the calories before the run to have energy and calories afterwards for your body to recover.

You need to lift in some capacity

Everyone I know who runs 10 miles and up does it

Its more important than you think

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&fkt=1565&fsdt=7397&q=weight+training+for+distance+runners&aq=0&aqi=g5&oq=weight+training+for+dis&fp=b1cbbff37876d0fa

look at all the results




The problem with you, pilgrim, is that you're soft. You have a doughy core, and no matter how skinny you get, you're not going to firm up unless you add some resistance training. You will be skinny fat; you'll look Ok in clothes, but underneath will be a pasty mess of beer gut, bitch tits and sidefat that won't go away until you start lifting.

lullz

didn't do shit today, tomorrow though, some gym time cardio.... dunno what exactly though, maybe some running? then a masters swim practice doing well there down to 2:25's /200 yards free in training (competition speed is probably about a 2:01 right now if i had to guess, we have a small scrimmage meet with Jordan HS coming up and I'll get a shot to see where I'm at there...)

i need to get more into running and biking, i'd be interested in doing some sprint triathlons (as i hate running more than 3 miles)

I'm losing weight at a steady pace, but my strength is slowly receding and I run out of energy towards the end of my workout. Today I felt completely gassed about 30 minutes in. I'm going to stick with the diet until I get to the BF% I want to be at before I worry about losing muscle mass, since I tend to gain it back really fast anyway.
