How To Stay Hydrated Throughout The Day

These are my tips to stay continually hydrated throughout the whole day, not just in the morning or night, but the whole day from the moment you wake to the time your head hits the pillow at night. Pee clear and drink water, watch the video to find out more. Enjoy!



My Food Friday

I've decided to change this up a little bit because I find it hard to get this posted on a Friday when I come home from school/work. I'm not going to get rid of this segment because I enjoy sharing what I put into my body to get the results I get. In saying this I'm going to do this segment on the food I eat on a Thursday and publish on a Friday. This works well because I have running on that day and it also gives me time to write it up before publishing. Lets get into it then!

Finally I'm having a different lunch at school today, a few things got mixed around so here is what I had.

Breakfast:


  • Banana Smoothie (5 1/2 banana's, coconut sugar, 1tsp brown sugar)
  • This smoothie made just under 2 litres and is the perfect way to fill up in the morning

Morning Tea:

  • 4x dates
  • 1x peanut butter sandwich 
  • 1x 250mL poppa 
  • 3x pastry rolls (filled with beans, rice, quinoa) 

Lunch:

  • 2x Potato Salad Wraps (potato, avocado, beans, lettuce, carrot, egg, rice, lentils)
  • 1x Peanut butter sandwich 
  • Water

Afternoon Tea: (before running)

  • 2x raw vegan bars ($2 from Coles)
  • 4 medjool dates

Dinner:

  • Spanish rice with red kidney beans and corn

Desert:

  • 4x medjool dates

Elite Female Runner Crawls to Finish Line in Austin Marathon




Different style of video today. I feel as though my vlogs are the same thing everyday so I need to mix it up a bit and get some variety. In today's video the elite runner in the Austin Marathon crawls the last 100m of the race to finish in third place.
Watch the video and see my reaction before coming up with your own. Remember, if you want to go big, dream big!!!

My Road to Europe + Back to Running


What's this channel really about? It's about my road to Europe which is where I want to go to try and make a career out of professional cycling. It's about the difficult times of defeat and fantastic times of glory and success. So hop onto my bike with me and follow me along this journey. Today I also discuss why I'm back running after months of saying that I'm not going to be running this year.

Specialized Previal Review

This has been my helmet of choice for a few years now. I have not been able to find any other helmet which is lighter also providing the same comfort as this one.

I have pretty much worn this helmet into the ground with no concerns what so ever. It has been on numerous aeroplanes and it has not cracked unlike one of my other helmets. I look after all my products with extreme care, so I find it hard to comprehend how the crack would have come as a result of my negligence.

Like I said it has been the lightest helmet I've come across in the last few years and as Specialized advertise in magazine's, "it's lighter than the book in your hands," which is absolutely true.

With the ability to adjust the tightening system not only so it fits the size of your head but also the height at which it sits is also one feature I like. That way female riders with a pony tail are able to run the helmet nice and clean on their head in a secure position.

I can't complain about this helmet and although people will complain that it's too expensive, I argue against you because not only do you get a super light helmet but one that fits to any head shape and might I add stops the sweat from dripping into your eyes.

It has been the best helmet money can buy and I know that there will also be something emerging in the market trying to knock this out of it's place, I feel as though it will be here for a very long time, especially with the combination of aero and road helmets all in one.

Shopping, massage & things stuck in my feet


This really goes to show that you should wear shoes, but it's best to only wear runners rather than thongs or canvas shoes which aren't good for your feet. My best tip would be to have shoes with elastic laces that way you can slip your shoes on and off really easily. Finished off today with a massage on my shoulder and I'm getting more movement and range of movement. Today I also tested out my rice cooker and made a fantastic lunch. Watch the video to see it all.

Do Carbs Make You Fat? + Watching Some Running


Today I got told by a chef at my work that he's a "protein" man and that he tries to minimise carbs because they make him fat. The funny thing is that he isn't as slim as me and I've only down an hours exercise in the last two months and haven't put on any weight. I should have said something because it would have been very funny to see his reaction.
I also took a trip to go watch one of the local running races held this afternoon. Not a bad valentine's day!

Morning Tea:

1x Peanut Butter Sandwich
1x Orange juice poppa

Lunch:

2x Wraps (lettuce, potato, carrot, mayonnaise, egg, etc)

Afternoon Tea:


Large bowl of plain brown rice (YOU GOTTA CARB UP)

Dinner:

Small vegan pizza at work (pineapple, tomato, onion etc)


What would described as a pretty plain selection of foods kept me nice and full all day!

The vegan fight + helping someone out
