Lauren’s Training Log: July 26th – August 1st, 2021

Training Log Weekly Update & Blood Sugar Update.

Last Weeks Training Journal

All Past Training Journals

Another rough week. This time I think I know why. Diet. Nutrition. I have struggled with that part of my training for a while. This week has been extra bad. My blood sugar levels were back higher than normal and I had too much sugar and carbs. Getting my blood sugars levels back on track needs to be my number one goal again.

Need to start using discipline and stick to a low sugar/lower carb diet to hopefully lower my blood sugar levels, and my sugar cravings (they are out of control!).

Anxiety also got the best of me this week. I started out really strong, but as the week went on the anxiety compounded. This seems to be an ongoing theme. Getting outside is what helps the most, I need to start forcing myself to get out for walks with the kids even if the weather isn’t perfect and I don’t want too.

I am going to spend a few hours tonight re-working my training plan. Currently I am training to enjoy a Run Disney 10k. We are running as a family and plan to run together. I am going to rework the training plan to lower volume most days with one longer run. Adding in another rest day. Hopefully the small changes will allow me to fix my diet without being overly hungry, and to also avoid burnout but the end of the week.
