endurance/keeping muscle
Here's my diet (and excersize to reflect energy demands):
I'm tying to train for a half-marathon while maintaining muscle mass.
Breakfast
1/2 cup oatmeal,
yougurt or milk (8 0z)
fruit
snack
approx. 200 kcal complex carbs.
15 g protein
fruit
Lunch
approx. 300 kcal complex carbs
25 g. protein
vegetables
snack.
300 g kcal complex carbs.
15 g protein
fruit.
post w/o
protein shake
25 g protein,
1tbsp honey
dinner
300 kcal complex carba
50 g. protein
vegetables
snack
protein shake
25g protein
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.

This statement in itself.....is an impossibility. Good luck to you bro.
My guess is....it will be DA'MN hard not losing muscle.

Once again....Pat Tillman(god bless america, he was a hero). He did a marathon, and then a triathlon, and still managed to play in the NFL.

Try to eat a good amount of Low-GI carbs before running, i.e. Oatmeal. That should help you retain some muscle and then you need to drink basically a PWO shake when you are donw with training. This is no easy task but you should be able to maintain muscle. BTW usually runner don't want alot of muscle, smakes it way harder on the body, is this like a charity race or something?

My point is, rather than flaming someone, constructive criticism is better, bro.
