How is your protein intake? I wonder if the body needs more when trying to recovery from a strain or overuse. I get the feeling I did not get enough protein on big training weeks in the past for optimal performance.
I didn’t really focus on eating anything different sofar, next week I will start carbo loading in a lesser extend.
On protein, I mainly use it as a recovery tool for long runs, other than that not that much protein (I suspect my ratio is less than optimal) but my main gains in dieet sofar come from eating cleaner (no alcohol this entire camp).
On the road to sub 3, I will try to focus on protein aswell! But for next week, just a little right after the race (2 snickers + 1l chocolatmilk)
