So I haven’t actually run yet today. After finishing up my lengthy post on the legal side of this blog and writing a few comments around the blogosphere I headed over to the gym for a lift session prior to my run.
The lift session went fine (it was primarily focused on legs, abs, and lower back) but afterwards I felt nauseous. Not because I was sick, but rather because my blood sugar was too low.
This seems like an endless battle for me. Deciding when to eat and when to run. If I eat to soon before I run, then my run is painful and slow because of cramps. If I don’t eat then my blood sugar drops by the end and my performance suffers. This morning I had an egg sandwich (an egg sandwiched between halves of a whole wheat English Muffin with some turkey bacon.) Apparently this was not enough to make it through both a lift session and a run (it was going to be a short one I swear.) So instead I am back in my apartment, posting this while my lunch cooks, and trying to figure out when I can squeeze in my run later today.
What are your thoughts? When do you run and when do you eat?
