Thanks in large part to my CapturedDiscipline® safes; at the age of 75, I will be able to “run” and finish the A1A Ft. Lauderdale Marathon (26.2 miles) this coming Sunday, February 18th.
Before beginning to train for this event, my CapturedDiscipline® safes enabled me to lose 22 lbs (from 194 to 172).
During the 371 miles of marathon training, my CapturedDiscipline® safes enabled me to lose another 14 lbs.
In total, my weight dropped from 194 lbs to 158 lbs, down 36 lbs.
This past weekend, when I ran a personal best 75th year half-marathon (13.1 miles), I learned that my ideal running weight is 162.5.
Here is my training log for the past 6 months.
I know I am self-promoting my own product, but, I could not have done this without CapturedDiscipline® safes.
Sunday, 2/11/2018:
On this last “run” before next Sunday’s A1A Ft. Lauderdale marathon, I ran a half-marathon in the personal best time since turning 75. Have learned at the end of 371 miles of training that what and how much I eat the day before the run is really really important.
Have also learned that my ideal “running weight” is not less than 160. It is …162.5.
Goal: Sunday 02/18 26.20 A1A Ft. Lauderdale Marathon (26.2 miles)
