don't know if it's the place here to talk about it , but briefly ...... global imuno defficience issue means diagnosticed tuberculosis and hepathic disease five years ago , lost half of my weight (down to the "zombie" level of 31 kg !!! ) spend one year in a rolling chair in hospital totally drugged by their chemical...before i revolt , quit hospital , stop all chemicals , change my diet and quietly but deeply recover...

so you see , i've still a long way to do...but what surprise me is that ii have lost most of my muscle but "strangely" my legs are regaining muscle so quickly!!

do a bodyweight exhaustion test yesterday "just to see" ...be able to perform more than 150 squats witch classify me as "excellent"....good for my motivation!!

 

so you know "la diagonale des fous"? really a silly race!!

Wow, Thierry, but could you give more details about your health issue and how you overcame it? We will need to run together someday - I am also an ultra-runner, 100% converted to barefoot running now (I am actually using VFFs for long trail runs). Would love to participate to la diagonale des fous with you!!!

Amazing Oriana! Well done! Obviously the Boston time wasn't meant to be this year but next year no problem. There's no rush now, not since your body is getting younger every year ;) Enjoying running and staying injury free is the key

I am so thrilled after running the pf chang marathon.  My old time was 5:35. This past Sunday I ran it in 4:01 and was 1 second short of qualifying for the Boston marathon for my age group.  I could kick myself but I had to remember that I stopped to help a woman up who fell after turning around right after we started.  There's always next year but I am going to try to run another couple of halfs too. I am not in the least sore, no injuries and I believe it is the way I eat.  I am not a spring chicken at 46 years old after having 4 children and teaching kindergarten for the last 15 years!

Thanks Stuart for confirming that changing one's lifestyle, going back to a more natural one, is able to cure (and I mean really CURE, even though conventional doctors will never accept this term) most chronic and auto-immune conditions (well, as long as structural damage has not reached a very deep degree I guess!).

Hi Michel,

I had Spondylitis and a recurring prolapsed in my back for many years, it eventually got better when I cut out nuts, seeds, oil etc. and started drinking more water. My back doesn't hinder me in any way at all now. My fitness and strength have come on in leaps and bounds :-) Never felt better... ever !

Thanks Chris!  I guess  should have figured as much as to eat fruit!  I will look into getting that book!!!

Have a fab day :)

Didn't know about this group! Since I am back into serious running after having won over my Ankylosing Spondylitis, I guess it is a good time ;) I am hoping to meet other 30BaDers on trails soon near Sydney!

Hello Everyone! 

 

This is really only my third day on the LFRV diet and I just went for my first run in a few months.  I have NEVER been a runner; started to get into a bit this summer then for some reason lost track.  But am so ready to get back in!  I just ran 5 k non stop which i was happy about seeing as I am not much of a runner and have not ran for months!  Does anyone have any tips on what they eat after running?

Thanks

Kat!
