This is the final week Hal Higdon's Marathon Recovery plan. The complete
details for this week are here. The idea here was to recover from my marathon in a safe and slow manner. It has worked! Training for Marathon #2 starts in three weeks!
Sunday: An hour of cross-training.
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Five miles.
Wednesday: Five miles.
Thursday: Three miles.
Friday: Two miles.
Saturday: Rest
TIP OF THE WEEK: "Food has real nutritional value, whereas sports drinks are just sugar," says Nancy Clark, R.D., author of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook
and a nutritionist with SportsMedine Brookline of Boston. Clark
recommends fruit or yogurt (frozen and otherwise) as a superior snack to
cookies or candy bars. Research by Dr. (Edward F.) Coyle indicates that
1 gram of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight per hour is
necessary for the most efficient glycogen replacement. That translates
to 2 calories per pound, or 300 calories for a 150-pound runner.
I agree with that statement in part. MOST sports drinks are full of sugar, but NOT Hammer Nutrition! You won't find any sugar in any of their products.
