The components of my diet rotate:
complex carbs :cous cous, brown rice
protein:beef, chicken, fish,
vegetables: various fresh produce.
Excersize: running (4 days/week. approx 15 miles a week, a long run in the beginning, a speed run in the middle, a short run, and a hill run at the end)
liftin (maintenance lifting on running days, going through muscle groups after running/cardio)
other cardio (eliptical machines, stationary bike, approx 40 min after shorter runs and non-running days. )
Stats: 6.0, 200 lbs approx 18% body fat.
I would like to run this thing (got into it as a bet) without loosing any substantial muscle.
Any suggestions?
thanks.
