That and the absence of guilt. I think in many ways that's the most important part.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411625461380393973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741675109129288395.post-75585190658164382212011-03-22T12:49:05.302+00:002011-03-22T12:49:05.302+00:00Oh my, we were clearly on the same page but maybe ...Oh my, we were clearly on the same page but maybe reading different books :) <br /><br />I too succumbed to a binge yesterday, except I felt that mine really wasn't justifiable and included too much of the wrong food, and this morning the guilty after effect was definitely felt. <br /><br />However, reading your post has made me realise that perhaps that particular binge was needed at this point in training and I too can move on :) Thank you for the fortuitous timing of your post Rob :)Manjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068859252000633632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741675109129288395.post-33427334291753456492011-03-22T11:01:15.573+00:002011-03-22T11:01:15.573+00:00Sounds like you were just relaxing a bit and givin...Sounds like you were just relaxing a bit and giving yourself a little treat or reward for doing such a stunningly quick run and then recovering so well. It's not even about the amount of food, but the emotions behind its consumption, that matters in my opinion. As long as your thoughts were in the right place, which it sounds like they were, then I don't think you have anything to be concerned about anyway!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577732790717175356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741675109129288395.post-52134734494738311292011-03-22T07:22:06.835+00:002011-03-22T07:22:06.835+00:00You seem to be handling everything with great bala...You seem to be handling everything with great balance right now. You do need to acknowledge that your long run was extremely long, and so listening to your body was the right thing to do. Going up to maintainance on rest days seems sensible, but it is hard to work out the after effects of such a long run in terms of muscle repair etc, so I think that as you were not eating mindlessly, but eating because your body felt you needed it, was right.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07364823282004341052noreply@blogger.com
