Decent article on it:

https://eat2run.com/2017/02/02/achieving-acid-alkaline-balance-can-make-stronger-runner/

Just some links & stuff. I'm noticing some foods I love are "alkaline" and some foods that wreck me are more "acidic".

I never really got too deep into it, always felt lemons/grapefruit were more acidic, turns out they have an alkaline effect.. for example.

Centrowitz dropping some gems .. I agree with the approach him & his squad take, "just inject the speed into it here and there", and the "domino effect": The guy he's talking to doesn't do any 200's I don't think, which is so weird considering how fast he is over 5k and even a mile. I feel like Coyote plays entirely to his strengths, abandoning working on his weaknesses. I mean he's stated that he's never even broken 60s in the 400.. yet he drops like 4:2X consecutive miles etc.

Got a bit of a passion back for training right now. Have set myself some pretty decent goals for the next 12 months which are not to dissimilar to some ones previously set.

nice!!!!!

when will you be completely off the splint? December?

I had been in a training for aesthetics frame of mind but I'm just not wired that way and the motivation only lasts so long on that front before I get bored. It lasted about a week this time haha.

lmao.

ya. train for athletics, transition into aesthetics .. seems easier and more fun

So, last night I was supposed to get well over 100 miles for the week. Reached 92.0 before my scheduled long run, which means I should have hit ~105 miles or so via a ~13 mile long run.

The long run got destroyed by gastro issues.

Felt amazing warming up: body felt great etc. Was going to try and hit low 7 min/mi pace for the ~13 miles, which should have been fairly easy given how good I felt. But, 0.5 miles in to the run, GI issues - I felt that "spicy feeling" in my GI + "thick mucous" creeping up. So anyway I hocked a loogie and it was so heavy that it literally landed on my arm. lmfao.. I knew then that my body was in meltdown. Anyway I finished the mile, did one more, then shut it down. No point pushing myself with some junk miles to reach some arbitrary number. Finished the week @ 97.4.

But that got me thinking.. Sunday morning, I had a small bit of that during my morning speed session, which went well. I did start cramping up after my second 400, but that was my last interval anyway so I didn't think much of it. When I got home, I drank lots of milk off and on throughout, and had that turkey burger + sauteed onion + green pepper + 1 jalapeno.

Whatever the combination or "perfect storm" of ingredients, I really wrecked myself.

What's fairly interesting is, as my mileage has gone up, i've had to cut out these foods:
- bananas
- eggs
- watermelon
- cheese
- rice
- instant oatmeal
- some non sourdough breads
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- peanuts / peanutbutter
- jalapenos (just added)

Some of those foods I REALLY like .. but they seem to routinely make my stomach "bubble up" & cause issues. I could be wrong about some of them, but this is just what i'm finding from experimentation. Often when the stomach issues get "crippling", ie literally can't continue running, i'll start "hearing fluid" bouncing around in my stomach etc. I'll hear that for a little bit, prior to getting the crippling cramp. Also, the cramp is usually in my "right abdomen/stomach" area. Also, it's not just stomach cramps, sometimes it's also abdominal, but in the same area. I imagine my stomach bloats up and causes issues that effect my abdominal muscles/ribs etc. Not sure though.

Contrast that to these foods which seem to make me feel incredible:
- avocados
- grapefruit
- yams / sweet potato
- coconut water
- green/black tea
- water with lemon

Those "foods" make me feel amazing. I can feel the difference when I eat alot of that, and how it effects my training.

Other things i'm still eating:
- sauteed onion (white or yellow)
- sauteed green pepper
- milk
- kefir
- skyr
- siggi's
- sourdough breads
- red kidney beans on occasion
- chicken
- steak/beef but not often
- strawberries
- black coffee before important training sessions (speed) or races

Other things I might add:
- beet juice on occasion (had some last night, need to reduce the concentration maybe, or it goes on the bad list)
- almond milk
- cucumber
- spinach
- carrots

These stomach issues I get on occasion are basically my arch nemesis. I hold back in races sometimes because i'm worried about them surfacing. Training sessions get ruined, no matter the intensity: "crippling" stomach cramps could pop up at really slow paces etc. It's just kind of nuts.. So this list of foods that I can/can't eat, is something that i've been trying to figure out over the last 4 months or so. I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate any possibility of cramping, near 0% chance.

So that brings me to this week .. I'm actually going to go on a no-dairy experiment & stick to things that I feel are way less risky. I had a nice thing of brie waiting for me last night, but I didn't eat it. Just too annoyed at how wrecked I felt. I enjoy the foods I CAN eat, so there's no problem there.. I'd rather cut foods out then experience cramping & GI issues during running/training, it's a kind of hell for me, I really hate it.

So, the temporary ban list becomes:
- milk
- kefir
- skyr
- siggi's

New "good foods" list becomes:
- avocados
- grapefruit
- yams / sweet potato
- coconut water
- green/black tea
- water with lemon
- sauteed onion (white or yellow)
- sauteed green pepper
- sourdough breads
- red kidney beans on occasion
- chicken
- steak/beef but not often
- strawberries
- beet juice on occasion (had some last night, need to reduce the concentration maybe, or it goes on the bad list)
- almond milk
- cucumber
- spinach
- carrots
- black coffee before important training sessions (speed) or races

Edit: Once “racing season” is over (December 18 2017), i’ll start trying to phase some things that I like, back into my diet, such as bananas, rice, and cheese for example. I will try some new foods as well. So these lists aren’t permanent, it’s me trying to figure out how to make my body feel & perform at its best, and reduce the risk of bloat/cramping substantially.

peace!!

Current Rank 94/114,900 - lool.

97.4 miles to end the week .. should have been well over 100 but I was absolutely wrecked at the start of my long run.

body felt great, but as i kept running, i started feeling a very acidic feeling in my stomach/chest, i did a few spits and it was THICK .. once I saw that (and actually accidentally spit on myself because it was so heavy), I knew I was wrecked. So I just shut it down.

Not worried about the mileage .. if I had kept running, even just light, that would be stupid.. my body was out of whack.

So, that got me thinking a bit .. going to make some serious changes to my diet this week. Going to cut out milk completely & anything else that is "risky" or uncertain.. like this nice piece of brie I have waiting for me, which i'm not going to eat now.

I'm not sure if it was the jalapenos that got me, or the combo of jalapeno + all the milk I drank today .. no idea, perfect storm maybe.. but, something nutritional just destroyed me. So if there is something i'm eating that's causing more of that, but I don't know it, i'd like to find out and eliminate it.

I've already eliminated bananas, eggs, watermelon, rice, cheese (unless it's the end of the week/rest day following etc), non sourdough breads, oatmeal .. I might need to add milk, jalapenos, and that latte thing I drank to the list.

Some of these things like grapefruit, avocado, coconut water, lemon, make me feel really good.. need to eat more of that.



Will post more about it tomorrow.

pC!

Looks like Arias got wrecked. Jacobs is way too good for Arias.

I'd like to see Jacobs vs Golovkin again, if Golovkin beats Canelo in the rematch.
