Did you find it difficult doing NROL4W while running? I can only imagine how sore those workouts might make you.
I haven't read it yet, but I think "carbs, carbs, carbs" have been far too ingrained in a lot of runners. But the ones that I've spoken with at my running meets realized this error a long time ago, and we make sure that our post-run recovery meals include some form of protein.

I completed NROLFW last year, when I was only running once or twice a week. I got sore, but definitely not from running, LOL. I think there's someone in the forums here who is a long-distance runner and doing NROL; I'll have to check on that later.
