One step at a time Brian. The pieces of this new running career will eventually merge and you will begin to wonder how you got by without running. One tip that has worked well with myself and the runners I've coached through the years is to plan ahead for meals just like you do with your running. Make a list of the foods for snacking, prepare foods ahead of time and pack them for the day. That way it takes the guess work out and you are never grabbing for the wrong things last minute. Try to find a weekend day for meal planning and prep. It gets easier as you go.
Let me know if you have any questions on your running training.
Coach Jenny Hadfield
Jenny,
eating is my kiss of death. I truly can plan, but I really don't know the foods that will fill me up, satisfy my crazy hunger and not make me hungry and hour later. I will eat dirt if I have to. do you have any suggestions?
You got it Brian! I enjoy reading your blog
