C-A-S: Experience 5

    Once again, this week I have continued with the next week of training for my half marathon. However, I mainly focused on the running since I learned from last week that I need to run for longer to boost my endurance. I decided to do four miles for somewhat every day for the entire week and stick to the diet. To give clearance on the diet, what I usually do is skip one to two meals for the day, lay off the carbs, only drink water, and get a lot of protein. During the summer, I calculated how many calories I should be eating a day, and what would be good for me to lose weight, and keep track of the calories listed in a meal. The list includes: 2,382 calories per day to maintain weight, 2,132 calories per day to mildly lose weight, 1,882 to have a normal amount of weight loss, 1,382 per day for extreme weight loss. The runs were difficult with the weather being so hot, and I had to stop by my house to grab some water every so often, but the sights were great. I even decided to go exploring and trying a different route for my run. It was exciting and I made my run more enjoyable.

C-A-S: Experience 2

       I have always had a passion for running. I’ve run my entire life, even through the pandemic. Running during the pandemic is important to me because it’s a fun activity and it keeps my mind healthy and my body in great shape. I have always had a dream to run a half-marathon. There are many reasons why I want to run a half marathon and my mom is one of them. My mom has been a role model for me because she’s run innumerable marathons during her life. She has also benefited mentally from it as well which is also another goal of mine. My mom has a Houston Fit Marathon Training guideline that explains what I need to do in order to reach my goal. It will take more than a six months to complete. However, it might take me less time to train for this goal because I’m already in good shape. The spreadsheet consists of running three times a week with a long run on Saturdays. It steadily increasing the amount I am going to run from 3 miles to 12 miles. The schedule also ...

C-A-S: Reflection 2

     Throughout my life, I have always been an aficionado about running. It's been one of my favorite hobbies and my  favorite activity to do when I'm free. Recently, because of the pandemic as well as consistently having injuries every year, such as breaking my left ankle (twice), getting concussions, breaking my toes (three times), etc. it has halted my and reduced my strength and endurance and hindered my ability to run. Thus, I will need to continuously train harder and work out more to attain my goal. In addition, I will also cycle and bike more as a supplement to my training. I would like to increase my endurance and lose some weight to be able to not only run at a faster rate, but also run for a greater amount of time. Just recently, I began to run again and although I am certainly still lean and able to run for   5 kilometers, I certainly would like to carry through more training so that it becomes more easy and less strenuous. I am excited to carry...
