Here's the first non food post. What's running fast and eating right got to do with each other. Everything. Over the last 16 months, i have been eating every 2 hours and that happens just naturally now. Its really eating clean food. I am on no diet. Clean eating, translates to a leaner body and end result is being a faster runner. I have moved to the 2 hour pattern just to get lean and feel fit. The end result has translated into running faster which i just love doing. :)
Ran the Delhi Half Marathon, 1st Nov 2009 in 1 hour, 52 min and 26 seconds. Incredible for me. A pace of 5 mins 16 seconds a km. My previous fastest run was 2 hours and 6 minutes for a half marathon done 2 years back during the Mumbai full marathon. Really an awesome timing and that's been possible through very little running. My schedule has been running 2 days a week, wt train 3 days a week all year except the last month where i added a day of running and cut a day of wt training. The lesson is run less and faster.
Next target is to do Mumbai Marathon in Jan 2010 under 4 hours 30 minutes. If i do that then i will train onwards for the Commrades Marathon 89km, in May 2010.
