What's up guys? I've been reading the forums here for about 2 months, figured I'd finally become a member. A little bit about myself...Im 26yrs old, 5'11, approx 185lbs right now, haven't worked out consistently or dedicated myself to a diet or training program for about 3 years now. Somehow, someway I have kept from becoming horribly out of shape, but I do realize that I am a LONG way from where I would like to be. I am now hell bent on turning over a new leaf and getting back into even better shape than I was before I quit working out.
Although I haven't worked out for about 3 years I do have a very solid knowledge base for nutrition, weight training, and supplementation. I have always "kept up", if you will, with my reading and learning about nutrition and weight training. To the point that if I would have used that time actually using the knowledge, instead of acquiring more and more I wouldn't be in this position lol.
Over the past couple months I've become VERY interested (don't have a solid reason as to why, other than motivation and a feeling of accomplishment I guess) in marathon running and triathlon racing. I'm from the Pittsburgh, PA area and I decided to get off my ass and do it already. I have registed for the Pittsburgh Marathon (I will be doing the half marathon to be exact 13.1 miles), this takes place May 3rd.
I have never trained for anything like this before, and while I will certainly be doing my own research into training methods and the like, I would certainly love to have opinions from you guys/and ladies here...the BEST damn forum I have ever come across!
I'm going to be honest, I dont really know where to start for this type of training. I obviously want to get into the best cardiovascular shape that I possibly can for the race, but i would also like to build some solid muscle as well. I know that at first, the fat, not that there's a ton of it lol, is going to come flying off. I guess I would like some suggestions as to how to build and maintain as much lean body mass as possible while on such an intensive cardiovascular program. I was thinking that a solid program (at least to start) would consist of a full-body weight training workout 3 days a week. With cardio (marathon training) 4 to 5 days a week, which would obviously lead to about 2 days where I'm weight training in the AM and doing cardio at night. I work from 1pm to 9pm, don't get home until about 10pm.
Below are some supplements that I have stockpiled through the past few months (I know that it is ALOT, I had a good final quarter of the year at work, so I've been able to afford these, and OF COURSE these will not be taken all at once, their use will all be spread over a few months):
NOS Ether
Purple Wraath
Animal Flex
Animal Omega
Animal Stak
Prime
Powerfull
Stoked
Supercissus
Leviathan-Reloaded
Incarnate
