This training is fucking brutal.

Plus having a stressful job, it definitely makes it harder.

The last 4 weeks I have been averaging about 20 miles a week. That is just too much time being spent as I am slow.

I think I just need to get done with this, and then shift gears towards high efficiency weight loss and muscle building stuff. Serhantification.

I did a long of 20 miles today. It was brutal and miserable. But, it gave me some confidence that I can at least finish the marathon.

At this point, I can’t want to get done with this marathon and get on with my life. A 2 year long journey. Fuck.

I kept the first half marathon pretty low key. But then, oh man, my legs came alive at mile 15. I was basically dead by mile 18 though. So I need to manage this a bit better.

I ran this:

It was a nice race. Tough though. But nice.

You gotta workout your hunger system just like you workout the muscles. Meaning, just like muscles need to get sore in order to increase in side; you need to feel hunger to loose weight.

No soreness in muscles keeps them at the same size.

No feeling of hunger keeps it at the same size.

Ozempic is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone that is released in the gut in response to eating. And it stimulates insulin and reduces glucagon production. So, this lowers the blood sugar AFTER MEALS.

It also delays emptying of the stomach. It also reduces appetite.

Berberine AMPK is a thing that gets activated. It improves insulin sensitivity, glucose and fat burning. It decreases glucose production in the liver.

Trying to do about 20 miles a week.

I need to take it up to 25 next week.

Really tough. Just need more time in the week to allocate here. You cannot mess it up with drinks and stuff either.

how do I get to 35 miles?

20 miles
5, 5, 10

25 miles
6.5, 6.5, 12
6, 6, 13

30 miles
6, 6, 18
8, 8, 14

35 miles
6, 6, 20 (32)

On Saturday, I ran a tough 15 miles. Then on Tuesday, I ran 5 miles. I probably could have done it on Monday too. And now, after the 5 mile run, I don’t feel that bad either.

This is all good stuff.

I have also run more than I did the entire year last year.

I am hoping for another 100 miles before the marathon.

September is already my biggest month. And I am generally liking it.

What i don’t like is the amount of time needed.

This is the absolute key. You need the fucking protein.

This is SO FUCKING IMPORTANT.
