I felt really good at the gym and increased the intensity a bit. It may have helped that I had 2 full hours after eating dinner for my stomach to settle. I had a bit of Clifbar and chocolate milk before swimming, but I think the colder water had more of an impact on feeling good than the food.
I tried Endurox R4, fruit punch, after my workout (GNC was having a sale and free shipping). It tasted ok (but after chocolate milk what was I expecting). I don’t plan to drink it after every workout, just Tuesday. For the Thursday workout I got a different brand to try. On the weekend I will eat real food.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteWhat are your favorite clifbars? I see them when I buy my daughters energy bars but have never tried them. I love how you comment in your journal on your shoes, how you felt, what you wore and ect. That is a great idea...I should be doing that. Currently all that I am doing is basically recording my miles.
Have a good day Mark:)
I live near Cub Foods, they had a $1 special so I bought all the flavors I thought I would like. Anything with chocolate works for me, but I also really liked Apple/Cranberry.
ReplyDeleteFor my kids I get Z-bars, also by Clif.
My daughter loves the Z-bars...they are pretty good:) I love the choc. chip and blueberry flavors! I will have to try the Apple/Cranberry.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm... peanut butter Cliff Bars. The chocolate milk is yummy, too. I've been using the Skim Muscle Milk lately and I think it really helps after lifting or a hard run. I got it at Costco and has lots of protein. The individual serving sizes keep me from drinking too much.
ReplyDeleteHi Mark,
ReplyDeletePerhaps you know - the St Croix Valley Runners meet every Saturday morning at Northland tennis courts (west on Myrtle), 7:00 am, for a 5-mile run. Or shorter. I don't recall seeing you there, but you are invited! I myself plan to be there tomorrow, but will run only 3 miles because I have a 5k race Sunday.
