oooh, naive, heal quickly.
thanks emartin! 5k plan is just to build speed for my A race, which is my boston qualifier marathon in november. I am ok with performance suffering in 5k season. but by the time that mileage starts to crank for the nov marathon, sometime june/july, I truly want to be in maintenance, because I know that I can't be in a deficit during marathon season.
congrats on your half iron! I have done an olympic triathlon and around 20 sprints. never a half ironman, not yet anyway!!! I really prefer running these days, and use swimming as my 2 days of crosstraining.
I hope I can sustain a bit of a deficit and be closer to an ideal running weight for me by late spring early summer. it will make qualifying so much easier if I can get leaner!
