New training schedule. So far, during the last 37 weeks, I have lost inches in the waist, gained an inch in my biceps, and 2 inches in my quads, and lost 7 lbs.

After the 13.1 mile run on March 3rd, I will Start a new training schedule.

I do not Want to look like Superman or Thor but will use these routines to shape and tone muscles.

WEEK 1 - Superman (Henry Cavil’s routine.)
WEEK 2- Cardio and core calesthenics.
WEEK 3- Thor (Chris Hemsworth’s routine)
WEEK 4- Cardio and core calesthenics.

End of each month - evaluate. measure. Change reps per set, or modify weights to match what the body needs.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

Tomorrow is the 13.1 mile run.

My goal is just to finish.

I can do 5 miles in an hour on the treadmill.

So best case is that I can keep that pace for 13.1 miles and finish in 2 hrs and 38 minutes.
But...
I will probably walk 1 mile after every three and if the start of the race is too chaotic I may walk the first half mile.

So anything under 3 hours and I will be happy.

At over 50 years old, the goal is to enjoy the experience, finish healthy, live long and prosper.

Well, this is a question I never expected to be asked lol...

Would You Take a Poop-Based Supplement to Enhance Athletic Performance?

A new study published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine suggests these scientists are a little bit closer to that goal. The research, conducted by researchers at Harvard, pinpoints a genus of bacteria called Veillonella that thrives in the bowels of elite Boston Marathon runners, especially after a big race.

After scientists extracted this bacteria and administered it to mice, the mice ran 13% longer than mice who were given a different kind of bacteria.

If human trials are similarly successful, this research could pave the way for an array of drinks, supplements, yogurts, and kombuchas for runners who want to do everything they possibly can to enhance their performance, says Jonathan Scheiman, a co-author on the paper and the co-founder of FitBiomics, a microbiome biotech company. Enhanced running ability is just one of many goals Scheiman has for his research and his company’s products.
