Subject: RE: 230lbs and training for first tri kmonie360 - 2010-08-18 8:37 PM I guess this is less about nutrition and more about work outs.
I 100% disagree with this assumption. I've trained for marathons and half ironmans and toed the line for both at the heaviest I've ever been. I did the work and put in the miles, and really sabotaged my race by not being diligent with respect to what I put down my pie-hole and managed not to lose any weight (in fact I gained a bunch ) despite burning tens of thousands of calories while working out each month. No amount of training is really going to offer more bang for your buck on race day as losing 5-8 pounds a month between now and then. And most of us, despite some of us putting in some SERIOUS amounts of training, won't lose much weight at all in training unless we give serious focus to the diet as well. |
