"Endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility are developed through training, and these adaptations manifest as measurable changes in the body. Coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy are developed through practice and these adaptations come about through changes in the nervous system. Power and speed have equal requirements for training and practice."

I started Zoning the week of Thanksgiving. Bad week to start, but I did pretty well with the exception of Thanksgiving day. As of Dec. 1st I started actually measuring everything that I eat. True Zone.

I am going with Nicole Carols recommended 16 Blocks. I started that 1st week at 2x fat and was starving and felt tired, so I went to 5x fat after that. That feels pretty good. I get a little hungry every now and then, but not too bad. I have done 1 day at 9x fat just to see how it feels. I think that might have been a little much. I have a feeling I'm going to be happy somewhere between 6-8x fat. Only time will tell. I did PR again on FRAN even though it was only 1 sec. but I was a week after getting back from not really being able to train. I felt weak and my lungs burned that whole week, but I really think the diet kicked in and I stated feeling better and stronger after about a week. FRAN didn't really feel any easier (guess it never does) but it felt smoother, and I had much more in the reserve tank after completion. I recovered much faster. If you have not tried Zoning...try it...now!
