Day 7
The 7th day of the race, June 18, 17:36. Today I have a pretty good speed, energy and mood, so I managed to run with all our leaders: with Atmavir, Igor and Sarvagata. And when we were running with Atmavir and Igor, Igor said that he was feeling a bit sleepy, so Atmavir offered him to drink some energetic containing caffein and taurine. But Igor replied: «No, thanks, I am the follower of Stutisheel’s health food approach.» So, in such a way I found out that Stutisheel’s health food approach exists.
Igor has told me later that he tested and examined carefully my last book ‘Eat to Run’. All my statements about white flour, pack juices and sugar… So, all the practical things which could help us to discover our potential were tested by Igor during training process and now they are being tested here. I was happy that Igor agrees with my entire book!
Yesterday the 6th day of the race was over, so now we have full 6 days. I have 366,5 miles after 6 days that is quite good for transition period in my case. I remember this year I had 324 miles in the 6 days race.
Igor and Sarvagata feel quite good, they smile and run steadily. I can see Pradeep whose speed a it dropped down. Actually, he honestly tries to run all the time, but according to his own words his body experiences some shock which he can’t get rid of yet. Ananda-Lahari and Purna-Samarpan also run not too fast. But in general everything is quite steady.
Chiropractor Gaurish came twice to the race and helped us very much. For me he adjusted both – my neck and my knee, and he was even surprised that my knee was adjusted so easily. I even had no clue about it, something was wrong but what else you could do? So you just run and run. But when everything works fine, as it appears, it is even more easy to run :). These days here on the course there are several good homeopaths – Aklanta and Megabuti. They also offer their help.
My muscles quite adequately react on the stress, I could say, they recover quite good. For all these days there were no necessity for massage and actually it does not help me usually. So, I just make a stretching at about 5 in the afternoon and then after finish for about 5-7 minutes. And, as it appears, it is quite enough.
Regards!
