Tommy Neal’s Training Camp

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Just a quick update and there will be a longer post at the end of the week. We’re a few days into Tommy’s training camp. After taking some time to recover from Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston, Tommy came out to North Carolina to get in some intensive work on balancing his diabetes management with his high caliber training. Yesterday was a track workout over at Duke to take detailed notes on insulin dosing, carbohydrate intake, and pacing. Sorry, no specifics on the workout … except to say that even including the recovery intervals, Tommy went through 9K on the track in about 30 minutes! Blood sugars spot on – 100 about halfway through and 102 after his cool down run of 4 miles or so. Friday will be a paced tempo run with detailed note-taking again.

Tommy has been looking over the questions that have come in for him and I’ll post a blog interview at the end of the week. So, if you have any other questions, get them in!

Happy Trails,
Missy
