    Post on my wall

    Hi, I'm so sorry it has taken me a long time to get back to you regarding the question that you posted on my wall. I will take a closer look and develop an educated answer for you this week. Cheers, Kate B.

    JUICE=Brilliant idea! Ill check it out! yum on the coconut milk! Total Immersion = great skills. I found their drills incredible to warm up with and cool down because it certainly gets the muscle memory thinking about it. let me know if i can help with the swim stuff [whatever I can do over the net!] Swimming is my thang! however...RUNNING is a whole other story! started barefoot running a couple of months ago and its going better now! havent done a tri in a while though so it should defs help with transition! :-D

    Juice. My favourite way of getting in some of those extra calories, oh and add 100 ml of coconut milk. Great shake :) I know what you mean and I'm only chowing down on 2300Kcals a day at the moment. Luckily I have a juicer. My A race is the Bustinskin Middle Distance (70.3) in England, september. Until 1st June I'm doing HIIT training aimed at getting faster on bike and run. I intend to survive the swim... (not my strongest discipline. I'm using Total Immersion technique, so far so good.)

    oh ell....migraines, ive heard, are something terrible :-( I've been following daily burn to give me an idea of 'intake' but what you're saying is that if i stay strictly within 1/3 being starchy starches [he he he] and two thirds only veg and fruit... that does make sense you know.... in otherwords... i should be consuming 300g carbs per day according to my height, fat % and activity level [im 6ft, 17% fat and weigh 73kg] then i should be chowing down only 100g of starchy carbs a day and then 200g of veg /fruit? that seems rather doable....what about feeling full yet only have eaten 150g for the day? thats my biggest problem... im always feelign really full!after all this food!

    The Tri food ratios

    I was missing in action yesterday with a migraine in the afternoon, yuck! OK, the food thing. Have you tried sticking to the recommended ratios for Triathletes? In base training (where we both are). Traditional Tri ratios: 20% protein, 50% carbs, 30% fat. Studies have also shown that the Paleo diet Triathlete ratio also works, that is 20% protein, 50% fat (good fats - nuts, olive oil, avocados coconut, salmon) 30% carbs. Now the interesting thing from the studies is that carb ratio makes all the difference, not in the % but in the carbs eaten. 1/3rd should be eaten as starchy carbs (rice, potatoes, bread, oats etc), the other 2/3rds as fruit and vegetables. In peak/build training: 20% protein, 60% carbs, 20% good fats. This ratio is the same for traditional or Paleo ways of eating. Again 1/3 of the carbs starchy, 2/3rds fruit and veg.
