I’ve got pretty wide-ranging tastes but I lean towards literature. My favorite is Milwaukee-based Rishi because they have amazing high-quality loose leaf tea that warms me right up and gets me going for my second training session.ħ/ Book I love reading, and there’s nothing I love more than being able to relax and delve into a great novel in the evening after dinner.
I deal with OCD, and being able to step back, breathe deeply for 10-30 minutes, and reset a bit helps me go forward really productively into the rest of my day.Ħ/ Tea I try to be conscious of the amount of caffeine I drink throughout the day, so I try to switch to black or green tea in the afternoon. Since I’ll be running again later in the afternoon it’s important that this meal is nutritious and easily digestible so I can hit it hard again on my double.ĥ/ Meditation Taking a bit of time to decompress and focus has been a game changer for me. This varies from day to day, but usually contains a lot of carbs and protein (think quinoa and chicken, rice and tempeh, or a big bowl of pasta). I’ll run twice per day, but the morning session is always the longer and more intense one, so it’s important I focus on what the goal for the day is and go in with a positive mindset to work hard.Ĥ/Lunch After my morning workout I make sure to get in a HUGE brunch/lunch, since I usually can’t eat much before I run. Yes it’s my job, but it’s also what I enjoy doing most in the world. Before I run I need to prep my body, and one of the ways I address some of the less-than-great-feeling spots is by applying KT Tape.ģ/ Run Whether it’s for an easy run or a workout I’m running basically every single morning by 9am.
I’m a pretty big coffee snob too, and I love trying new beans and roastsĢ/ KT Tape Marathon training is hard, and with it can come some aches and pains. I find that caffeine is one of the most effective ways to provide energy and focus before morning workouts, and even just the act of making coffee in my French press wakes me up. 1/ Coffee the first thing I do when I get out of bed is head downstairs, put on the water to boil and grind up some coffee beans.
