i feel like puking all over the place after my back work out today.

 

Pregnant?

 

possible

 

If it makes you feel better, I am pregnant with awesomeness and regularly give birth to "how the hell did you do that?"


Just kidding

 

Heavier calories in the morning lighter calories in the evening. As long as you poop it all out before your race so its not weighing you down (or on your mind....) you should be fine. (assuming its not a MASSIVE excess)

That's assuming you get all of your nutrients in and what not and it's not all pizza or something.

The best food I have found before I go out cycling is pancakes w/oats in the batter and you're choice of toppings. Gives you quick and delayed release sugars. Mine comes out to about 900 calories and I can last easily 3 hours+ of hard riding (hill/flat mix) like it's nothing.

 

Ask Kona (Cody) or ZombieRunner (Kevin); they're the damn Forrest Gump's of this thread

 

Okay, so I did that tabata yesterday and I think my brain is in shock lol. I seriosly haven't done cardio on purpose in probably close to a year. Granted, I have played some backyard football and also swim a lot in the summer, but this was the first time in a while I've actually done HIIT stuff at the gym in around a year. Ever since I finished yesterday, I've had a damn headache! I don't know if it's the pollen in the air (it's just starting to get bad) or if I'm just being a bitch. Anyone ever have post-HIIT headaches?

 

Ive had a bad headache also and I think its my allergies acting up.. however I just did a very hard back workout today and I just puked all over the place...could be a combination of both

 

Damn! I'm gonna chalk it up to allergies. I'm doing this tabata tomorrow after my workout:

 

You squinting alot form the sun? My allergies are acting up. been sniffing so much I woke up last night to my face caked in blood from a nose bleed...that I didn't wake up for

 

Damn! Well, the pollen has been bad here for a few weeks, but it usually never messes with me. The only side effect I'm having is the headache though. Im gonna try to ride it out for a couple more days and see what happens

 

Seal jacks wtf, sounds like your going to be the down syndrome guy in the corner trying to fly

 

Hot damn! I'll definitely have to work my way up to some shit like that. The four min tabatas are kicking my ass!

 

Kevin?

 

My cardio elixer is an english muffin topped with almond butter, banana slices, and drizzled with honey. 2 hours prior to event to give it time to digest and not be a rock in my stomach. If Im 30 mins out from something and havent eaten yet I can slam a Clif bar and be good to go.

1.5 miles shouldnt take more than 10-12 mins so you shouldnt worry too much. I do that fasted first thing in the AM twice a week.

Good advice here ^
