Post Workout Shake

Protein is always a hot topic which I will talk about in a later post. Try to get your protein in within 30 minutes of finishing your workout. 

 I drink this smoothie almost every morning because it is jam packed with protein which keeps me full and grows my Sponge Bob arms! I absolutely love Ideal Fits protein, it is by far my favorite. You can find a more about this protein here. 

Here is the recipe:

-3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
-2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
-1/2 banana (frozen if you like a thicker consistency)
-1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (I use Ideal Fit- Chocolate Brownie)
-1 tablespoons of natural peanut butter (there is never a thing of too much peanut butter)
-6-8 ice cubes

Directions:
-Place in a high speed blender (I use my Blendtec) and enjoy!!

Happy running friends,
Kylie

St. George Half Ironman Recap

My first ever Half Ironman! Completing a Half Ironman has always been on my bucket list. I have always loved to run, picked up biking in college for cross training and then my plan was to suffer through the swim. I wanted to do Boulder in August but I wan to really focus on training for Chicago and so I picked St. George. I had heard this course was a beast of its own. I was ready. I like hills. My Training: I followed a 16 week training program that I bought from a coach. It truly was amazing! I felt awesome on race day and I attribute it to what great plan she wrote. My average training looked something like this: Monday: Run 30-45 minutes, swim 1500-2000 yards and incorporating drills and speed Tuesday: Bike or Bike + Brick Run + Strength training for hips and core Wednesday: Run 30-45 minutes, swim 1500-2000 yards and incorporating drills and speed Thursday: Yoga + foam rolling and stretching Friday: long bike + Brick run Saturday: long run (1:30- 2 Hour) + endurance s...
