I do love running especially if I’m sweating! It really burns off my fats. It’s a good exercise too whether your old or young at heart running is simply the best.

Daniel — basically I prefer a liquid breakfast to the more traditional bagel, toast, banana, cereal etc. 3 scoops of Sustained Energy provides me with 340 easy-to-digest calories at a 7:1 carbohydrate : protein ratio. Mixed with 24 ounces of water, it also helps hydration before a race.

I also use it on longer bike rides/training runs and it was one of the Hammer products that helped me through my one and only Ironman in 2004.

Steve,

I’m curious about the benefits of Hammer’s Sustained Energy. Caleb also used it in the days leading up to his awesome Portland Marathon. What does it do to prepare you nutritionally for races?

I’ve been running a mix of barefoot/vibrams/racing flats. Basically, the same as before I got hurt except I’m not going barefoot on the road near my house. (I think my main problem was running too fast on the pavement, and there’s a big hill near my house that I have to run down at the end of the run.)

I really enjoyed yesterday’s run — didn’t feel like a stress or a struggle at all.

Have been following your barefoot running posts on FB. 8 miles is pretty impressive! I guess your feet must be very strong now. Are you doing any running in shoes, or is it all barefoot at the moment?

Nice run – after my 6-8 weeks off the longest I’ve gone is yesterday’s barefoot 8 miler. Not too interested in trying to run a marathon, training or race, right now!
