I've been doing strength and conditioning training for the last 4 months whilst adopting the Paleo diet from the outset, this has yielded positive results and I'm very happy with how things have gone. I will soon be starting to train for my first marathon (eek!) and when I do my training regime will alter dramatically. Instead of doing weights 3 days a week I'll be running 3 days a week with a side helping of strength training at weekends.
Is the Paleo diet still a good choice for marathon training?
Update: My typical daily diet
Breakfast:
- 3 x Eggs
- Optionally 2 x Bacon Rashers
Post Training Snack
- Protein Shake w/whole milk
Lunch:
- Large portion of Chicken
- 2-3 Portions of cooked vegetables
- Optionally a flaked Salmon Fillet on the side if I've trained particularly hard in the morning
Dinner:
- Pork Medallions
- 2-3 Portions of cooked vegetables
- Optionally some Sweet Potato Mash
Protein Shake before bed
Thanks in advance
