4th day of Ramadan Running

Hello Everyone,

Run was okay!

I have to admit that as the ramadan days increase, the intensity of food coma also increases. See the equation below;

# of Ramadan Days ∝ Food Coma Intensity

As for my diet, I am not eating fried foods. This is a big win for me! I am eating whole grain carbs, lentils, fruits and lots of vegetables. I am consuming meat every other day. On the days I don’t consume meat I just take a protein bar.

In terms of liquid I’m drinking milk, smoothies and lots of water.

Check out my workout below;

Second Day Ramadan Run

My second run was much better than my first. My average pace was around 5.40 min/km.

Iftar Meal ==> date, one glass of milk, mixed fruit, plate of biryani

Sehri Meal ==> Butter Roti, Chicken Gravy, mixed fruit and walnuts, raisens and almonds.

My eating strategy for ramadan is simple. Load up on carbs at Iftar and load up on protein at Sehri.

On to the next fasting day!

First Day of Ramadan Running

After Iftar your body feels numb and tired (food coma) but you must excerise even it is just a brisk walk to the mosque.

What I learned is that you need to portion control your meals after Iftar I am also making sure that I am constantly drinking water no matter how bloated I feel.

My first day of running wasn’t bad. I was feeling a stretch on my leg muscles but otherwise it was okay.

Iftar Meal ==> date, 2 cups of milk, mixed fruit, biryani and yogurt.

Sehri Meal ==> 1 slice of bread with peanut butter, 1 fried egg, smoothie containing milk, yogurt, bannana and blueberries, and 1 bowl of mixed fruit.
