Henry Rono training for masters mile record. PART II

I generally agree with mr. noitall on this. Although you need to eat enough to give you SOME energy to train, you also need to accept the fact that you will often feel weak while you are losing weight. The feeling of weakness is part of the price you have to pay if you are going to lose that extra weight. It's better to go through that now instead of later.

I agree to both of you Mr.noitall and Avocado's number.

It is the best plan for this body thank you very much.

Henry,

When you feel weak, remember that we'll all here supporting you and cheering you on!

henry: remember, that weak feeling you will have the first week of 'serious' calorie cutback, is a good thing. It means that your body has switched over from burning the food and drink you are consuming, to burning the fat off your belly for energy. Embrace it. It is a good thing. It gets alot easier after 4-5 days....

yes, Henry, embrace the hollow, hungry feeling...it means the body is working, burning fat instead of food and drink you are putting in for fuel. It is a feeling you will come to like after a week of low calorie eating. Drink lots of water!

I think that the sit-ups will strengthen the muscles of the abdominal walls, but won't do anything for your liver or other internal organs, and won't do much to get the fat off of your beer belly.

The muscles do help support the internal organs. A major problem with some elderly is they just don't have the muscle tone to support their internal organs and then they go all to heck. So that musculature andn muscle tone IS very important.

Whether situps would help with Henry's running, I don't know. Any exercise he is doing does help to burn a bit more of the fat, though #1 is the diet, and #1 exercise is the running.

The 205 day of training phase II still. I ran for 135 minutes along Tramway back to Gym,feeling so thirsty, weak and hungry.

I can feel in the knee joints coming up to quads and the jaw hanging low as someone who looks like is crying for food to eat or water to drink.

"The hollow hungry face" is the burning fat burner right?

After that long snowy weather I came and sit in that hot sauna for 35 minutes. I can feel right in the joints for sure is coming no kidding.

Henry

Don't forget to drink lots of water....even when you aren't thirsty....drink it!

Henry,

I didn't understand this sentence. Are you O.K.? I just don't want you to get injured.

You shouldn't be feeling so thirsty. Drink lots of water.

No, I am not O.K. I have a stress fracture and require immediate surgery. My training is done.

It is a temporary set back. Have faith. You WILL be back!

You think carrying that extra 30 lbs around with all of the running you have been doing might have caused it?

OF COURSE IT DID.....when you comeback next time, after you heal; I hope your weight will be down where it should be.

My condolences, and hope for a speedy recovery.

Henry Rooono may have a stress fracture, but Henry Rono does not.

Hi Henry,

Check out:

I do Gil's 4 mile run every year at noon on New Year's Day.

It's at 4th Street and Guadalupe Trail in the Valley. It's flat and fast and will give you a beginning of the year idea of where you are at, fitness wise. It is competitive although they say it is not, because they don't give awards. There is a clock at the finish line. There are usually 200-300 runners every year no matter the weather. Best thing about it: entry fee is only $8 on race day with no t-shirt, $6 on Saturday at Heart and Sole. The snow is supposed to have cleared out by then. The weather Monday is supposed to be just cold. Hope to see you there, Wayne.

To wcabq

I will be there,this should give me the beginning of this year and is a really good resolution for this old guy.I hope you will waive my entry fees.

Thank you Wayne

Henry
