Anyhow, on today&#8217;s episode of EM:WE, the trainer, Chris Powell, coached his client through a marathon about pacing- slowing down and speeding up depending on the incline and how her body was feeling.  A lightbulb went off- duh.  I always hit every uphill and downhill with the same level of energy and pace, never slowing down OR speeding up!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlejohnesque.com\/shazam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130802-211601.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.littlejohnesque.com\/shazam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130802-211601.jpg\" alt=\"20130802-211601.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThat changed today, and my run was rocking!  I feel like if I do that I can REALLY listen to my body- and not about panicking or overheating, rather where the sweet spot for fat burning is.  Do you see that first mile?  That is a kick ass pace!  It&#8217;s mostly the downhill part of the run, so it looks really good and fast, but I&#8217;m proud.  \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlejohnesque.com\/shazam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130802-2118561.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.littlejohnesque.com\/shazam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130802-2118561.jpg\" alt=\"20130802-211856.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAs you can see from my sweaty faced post run picture, it was a rainy day.  I forgot how beautiful it is to run on cool, moist days.  I didn&#8217;t overheat, there was no threat of panic&#8230;  I am only looking forward to this one component of fall- cooler weather to run in without struggling with the heat!<br \/>\n***<br \/>\nA weird thing that happens to me from time to time is that I smell ammonia after I run.  I wondered if I had some weird olfactory infection or if smelling ammonia post run is a sign of something.  Turns out, it is a <a href=\"http:\/\/health.howstuffworks.com\/skin-care\/information\/nutrition\/ammonia-sweat-smell.htm\">sign<\/a>!<br \/>\nA sign that I need to drink more water before I run AND I need to eat better carbs.  This morning when I ran I was using a handful of Cheerios and a drink of milk as fuel.  It was not enough!  Turns out when you&#8217;re low on accessible carbs your body burns protein- which can mean muscle- and the result is that ammonia is excreted in my sweat and I STINK!  Today it was to intense my nostrils burned.  I&#8217;ll definitely make sure to eat appropriately in the future.  I&#8217;m so glad to have this mystery solved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running today was super awesome with a side of awesome sauce fo-sho!
