• Great for flax seeds, but I don’t have a need for one. I use the coffee grinder.

• I know Jackie and Gideon Graff of Sprout Raw food advocate freezing their soaked nuts. I make burgers ahead of time, crackers are always brewing and I make at least 1-2 great dressings for the week.

• Don’t eat much—1 small low glycemic fruit early before the run. Big green smoothie around 11am—about 1 liter. Big salad of greens, dulse and nice dressing around 4 OR snack at 3:00 (flax chips w/ guac., or plain dark raw chocolate)—hold the salad ‘t…

• I like the poppy seed idea. I’ve read that humans lack the enzyme necessary to liberate the usable phosphorous from plant sources—wish I knew more about cutting and pasting-or I’d link that for you. I wish there were some studies looking specificall…

• I went through times when i did just that, mango woman. There was the “but I’m running a marathon, I NEED steel cut oats and brown rice!” phase. Then i began to put things together. For me cooked grains= joint pain! Baked vegan treats =insomnia and …

• Thank you for clarifying the 80-10-10 vs. Cousens. i mixed them up—always do. It must be the G. Nonetheless, there’s conflicting information out there! no need to be a cult follower of any of these guys. Show me the real science!

• I love the stuff. i don’t feel tired when I eat it. It doesn’t make me puffy or gain weight so i think I’m keeping it.

• Who decides that something really isn’t raw? Do they go to the place that packages the cacao? I doubt they could. I think many of the raw Gurus are not totally raw. I also think they are very political—vying for that top spot by negatively posting i…

• kminty—personal preference only, but I like to keep my sugar separate from my fluid so I can give my body only what it’s asking for. Your coconut water is loaded with minerals—all you need to sip on for the run. The date need (like goo) will come la…

• Never tried chia seeds. How did the long run go this week. Are you getting your energy back?

• allison—you will be far more marketable with a degree in Athletic Training or Physical Therapy (very long time-7-8 years now on the Physical Therapy). Other than that, I’m sure AFAA has the better cert. There are cheap on-line certs, but i don’t rec…

• vegdiane—hope I’m not too late for your event. I ran the RnR Arizona marathon last year on coconut water and dates instead of “goo”. I drank 8 oz of coconut water 30 min. before the race, water (4, 6 oz bottles) i carried until mile 16 when i dumped…

• Definitely good shoes at a great running store where they watch you run on a treadmill. Also, do you have flat feet (pronator) or do they scoop(supinator). Your shoes should be specific to what’s going on there. Superfeet makes a fantastic over the …

• Coconutty—even before a long run, all i have is fruit—at least 30 min. before i go out the door. if you’re exercising 1 hour or less, that’s all you need. more than 90 min., You may require something more. Good luck to you! kundalita, we could have …

• I agree w/ Angie, NewbyRaw. You do not want to be running where there is no bathroom—maybe yoga at home (check the ashtanga yoga thread for good DVDs) will help speed the detox, but when you are tired, just rest.

• heartshapedsky—time to start packing for you. I use a fuel belt sold at many running stores. I think my little bottles (4 around the belt) are about 6 oz. each. For the marathon, I bought larger bottles as well, which i pre-filled w/ coconut water a…

• jenergy—most of my TNT team were 11-12 min. milers & walk/runners who wanted to do something for a loved one. Some trained for a 1/2 marathon, others a full. The stories and dedications are truly inspiring and lifelong friends are made. You coul…

• Allison, how’d it go??? I managed an 8 mile run today. This is HUGE for me as i haven’t seen mileage over 5 for a year. So pleasant—deer, chipmunks and bunnies hopping along the Greenway. The deer make me cry. For me that’s all i need-a good run, so…

• That was me on the 2 dates at mile 18 instead of that goo. I subbed coconut water for Gatorade so that’s what i carried with me. Is it suggested you pack the banana water like any sports drink or you have it after? kminty3 what are you training for?…
