The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-427 – Shoshana and Adam – Veggies Saved my Life! (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4427.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-427 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Here we are at the center of a pandemic! Most days I’d be sitting in my home office writing, but with the apocalypse in full swing I figure my time would be better spent … umm… sitting in my home office writing? I suppose I should make an effort to paint the context for you because we may need to look back on this episode, listen and think. So, my future listeners, it is the day before the ides of March 2020. We are in the grips of the corona virus. This week they cancelled all major sports seasons, and postponed the Boston Marathon, for the first time in 124 years, until the fall. Americans are all working from home as most businesses have closed. There has been a run on toilet paper and bottled water for some reason. Does it affect me? I suppose we’ll see. I started working for a big company a couple months ago and that is looking like a fairly prescient move. I was down in Dallas two weeks ago after we last spoke. I was at a conference in Atlanta this week. I was supposed to be out in Grand Rapids at a client next week but that got canceled. I can work virtually, so it’s not a game ender. After we last spoke, I entered into the hard part of my training for Boston. This week was going to be a monster, with a big miles and three killer workouts. But, after they rescheduled the marathon I’m backing off and switching back to base-building. Today we speak with Adam and Shoshana Chaim about how a vegan diet saved Adam’s life. I know we’ve covered this topic before, but I had a request to specifically explore how to manage a vegan diet while competing at a high level. In section one I’m going to talk about sleep and the impact of not getting enough or getting too much. In section two, just because it felt right, I wrote an apocalypse story for you. I love the apocalypse genre. I don’t know why. It seems like the ultimate escapism, I guess. Before my racing plans got changed I woke up to a fairly sever tempo workout in Atlanta Tuesday morning. Again, with Boston 4 weeks away (at the time) this was the final push. Coach gave me an 8 X 7 tempo work out. So, warm up, run 7 minutes hard, 2 minute recover, repeat 8 times. Ironically at my current pace and fitness that’s almost perfectly a mile repeat. I knew I was going to be in Atlanta. Unless you find a track, it is hard to find a good place to do mile repeats in Atlanta. I was staying north of the city in Roswell because all the hotels were sold out down in the city where the conference was. I am fairly familiar with this workout, and have run it in Atlanta before and I have a strategy. While the roads around Atlanta are a nightmare for running on, the parking lots are good, especially early in the morning. I zoomed in on Google maps around the hotel and found some beautiful giant parking lots less than a mile away. It turns out, without knowing this, I had positioned myself across the street from the new Atlanta Braves stadium. I rolled out of bed early and ran over to where I knew the parking lot was. It was raining but a warm 50ish degrees. The sun wasn’t up. I had to cross the highway but this was ok because around the stadium the sidewalks and walkways are designed for stadium traffic and are 15 foot wide. On the Google maps the parking lot looked flat, but in reality it was a bit of a saddle shape. If I stuck to the outside it was about a 1/4 mile on each side with the center being the high spot in the saddle and maybe 50 feet of drop to the edges. I hit the old lap button and got to it. Holding a pretty good pace up and down the inclines getting to practice
