Diet Update

Trying something new today. Still low carbing but going on a zigzag diet to fuel my runs, build muscle and burn burn. Diet will be optimised to burn fat and give me energy for my runs so the building muscle is low on the priority list for now.

So today, I am going to try and have a no carb day. This doesn't really mean zero carbs since the only source of carbs will be fibrous carbs from vegetables. High levels of protein and fats are essential as per normal on a low carb diet.

Plan for zigzag diet:
Monday - Low carb
Tuesday - Moderate carbs
Wednesday - No carbs
Thursday - Moderate carbs
Friday - Low carbs
Saturday - High carbs or carb loading phase to store glycogen for long runs
Sunday - High carbs to fuel long run/ Moderate to low on recovery runs

Running days on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday
Rest on Saturday's only
Gym sessions - Monday to Friday
Cardio almost every session or when time permits. I either run outdoors or on treadmill for marathon training and often walk incline on treadmill, use the exercise bike and rowing machine at the gym.
